About

Probate Planning

Probate is the formal legal process that authenticates a will and approves your named Executor, so they can distribute your property and belongings. During the probate process, your assets are located and assessed for total value before taxes and debts are paid and the remaining value of the estate is distributed. Generally speaking, a person can expect for the probate process in Virginia to take anywhere from six months up to a year or more.

When grieving the loss of a loved one, administering the estate can be complicated and overwhelming, even when the deceased had plans in place. We assist our clients by making the task more manageable. Our firm advises and assists clients on how to file the appropriate paperwork to meet the requirements and deadlines of the court.
