Effective in Probate, Estate Administration, Litigation
The Saratoga Springs probate lawyers of DeGraff, Foy & Kunz, LLP, efficiently deal with all the legal and administrative tasks that must be accomplished to tie up the estate of a person who has died. If these issues are not addressed properly, the responsible party can be held liable for breach of fiduciary duty or mismanagement of an estate. We can advise executors and personal representatives in the process or handle it ourselves.
What Is Probate?
Probate is the process of transferring the assets of someone who has died to the heirs or other beneficiaries. It involves registering the will, inventorying the estate, paying final debts and taxes, and distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries as directed in the will or by the laws governing situations when people die intestate — without a will.
