Probate

Wills

Some folks will tell you that you can deal with an important document like a will by filling out a form on a website. We disagree. Wills are solemn declarations of your last wishes, presented to family members who recently experienced the sorrowful loss of a loved one. Wills set rules for disposition of a deceased elder's property. Consult with the attorneys of Hardee, Martin & Donahoe and let them help you make the best decisions and estate provisions for your family.

Probate

Probate is the process of paying off your debts so your assets can be divided among your heirs. If you die intestate (without a will), a court divides your assets among your immediate family. Your separate property and half of your community property pass to your spouse. If you have children but not all with your spouse, your spouse receives one half of the separate property and none of the community property. Everything that does not pass to your spouse belongs to your children, parents, or siblings.

As you can see, this is a confusing set of conditions. Avoid them if possible. Bring your will to Hardee, Martin & Donahoe and together we will write the best disposition of assets for everyone concerned.

If a loved one has died and you want to find out whether you are entitled to a portion of a family member’s assets, schedule a face-to-face consultation with an attorney at our offices. Consult us on these aspects of probate law:
