What Does a Probate Lawyer Do?

Our skilled probate attorney, Adam Bernick, works with families and heirs after a death to ensure that the wishes and plans of the deceased are carried out. Estate administration, whether handled by an attorney, or by a family member, involves selling the assets, attending any real estate closings, settling with creditors, completing the necessary paperwork, and distributing the property in accordance with the deceased's wishes.

Sometimes probating an estate is more complicated. For example, our attorney has been involved in cases in which creditors have attached a lien to a decedent's property due to unpaid bills, welfare payments to nursing homes, etc. State law allows the government to recover certain costs for benefit payments. If this happens to you or your family, it is important that you contact a knowledgeable probate lawyer to attend sworn hearings and minimize the financial consequences to the estate.
