Determining Roles in Asset Distribution
Probate of an estate involves a legal process that commences, when required, after one’s death. The law governing the rights of the deceased, the heirs and the creditors during this process is most complicated. We will work with a representative of your choosing to protect and distribute your assets as you would have so desired.
With careful planning during your life, Probate can more often than not be avoided. Unfortunately, many individuals wait too long or fight the idea of early estate planning leaving their assets at risk. Whatever the reason, if assets continue to be in your name alone after your demise, they must be probated in accordance with the Laws of the State and/or in accordance with your Last Will and Testament. With more than 24 years of experience as Providence probate attorneys, Pitts & Burns, Attorneys at Law, is able to effectively guide families in determining roles for asset and property distribution.

The probate process, as with any legal proceeding, involves technical aspects. Creditors are notified, legal notices are posted in the newspaper, deadlines are created, and Executors or Administrators are instructed on how and when to distribute the assets.
With any probate process, it becomes important to hire a law firm that is familiar with the probate laws and the individual probate Courts. Hiring the right law firm will result in a smoother and more efficient handling and distribution of the deceased’s assets to his or her beneficiaries.
