Dealing with the court system after losing a loved one can feel overwhelming, but having the right guidance makes a big difference. I provide support in probate and related court matters, helping you understand each step of the process and making sure everything is handled correctly. My goal is to reduce the stress of court procedures while giving you the confidence to move forward.

Here are the probate services I offer:

• Full Probate Administration
  When an estate requires a full probate case, I manage the process from start to finish—filing the petition, notifying heirs and creditors, handling court hearings, and ensuring assets are distributed according to the law.

• Small Estate Proceedings
  If an estate qualifies as a “small estate,” I can help you take advantage of simplified procedures that avoid the time and cost of a full probate case.

• Spousal Property Petitions
  A spousal petition allows a surviving spouse to transfer property without opening a full probate. I assist with preparing the petition and representing you in court to make the process as smooth as possible.

• Heggstad Petitions
  Sometimes an asset was meant to be included in a trust but wasn’t formally transferred. A Heggstad petition asks the court to recognize that the property rightfully belongs to the trust. I guide clients through this specialized process to resolve the issue efficiently.

• 850 Petitions
  When there is a dispute or uncertainty over whether property belongs in a trust or estate, an 850 petition may be necessary. I represent clients in these proceedings to protect their rights and clarify ownership.

• Limited Conservatorships
  For families supporting an adult with developmental disabilities, a limited conservatorship can give you the legal authority to assist with specific decisions, while allowing your loved one to maintain independence. I guide you through the court process to put the right protections in place.
