Working with a skilled probate attorney can help make a difference. Attorney Jim R. David has years of experience in guiding families and individuals through probate preparation and the system itself, so they can minimize the impact probate has on their estate and their loved ones.
Barrow County Probate Representation
At the Law Office of Jim R. David, attorney David knows how to navigate the probate process from start to finish. He takes the time to thoroughly review your situation and offer assistance where it’s most necessary. He can handle both contested and uncontested probate, meaning he has experience with resolving complex probate disputes such as will contests, but he will also represent you through the probate process even if there aren’t any major disputes.
Attorney David can also help you with:
- Probate administration: This is the process of identifying, managing and distributing a deceased individual’s assets according to their wishes as stated in their will. This process also includes handling other estate duties, such as notifying beneficiaries of the death, paying debts and taxes, and resolving potential disputes.
- Estate accounting: Also known as probate accounting, estate accounting involves creating a financial report that reviews an estate’s assets, transactions and other liabilities. This can include calculating the value of assets left at the time of the death, how estate funds were spent and the final amount of assets to distribute to heirs.
- Petition for executor or administrator removal: An estate executor or administrator is responsible for many probate duties, including probate administration and estate accounting. However, if an executor is not fulfilling their role or is found guilty of other misconduct, they can be removed from their role.
While probate has a rather bad reputation for being complex and time-consuming, working with an experienced attorney can help keep you on track throughout the process and ease some of the stress off your shoulders. Attorney David can help families and estate executors navigate this process successfully.
