Representation for Probate Litigation in Marietta
Probate is the process through which a will is accepted as a valid document to settle the estate of the deceased so that assets may be passed to the appropriate parties. By nature, probate is the process through which the last will and testament is used to distribute assets to the individuals denoted in the will. If the deceased did not have a will, the probate process can be more complex. With no legal document provisioning for the distribution of assets, the court must determine who is to inherit all of part of the estate.
Probate disputes are not uncommon, especially in families where the children or grandchildren are not close. If an issue or disagreement arises during the probate process which cannot be resolved, you will need to move to litigate. Our Marietta estate planning attorneys can represent you throughout the litigation process to ensure you are not taken advantage of. We are highly educated in the field of probate law in Georgia, which allows us to protect you and your family's legacy.
Our firm handles a wide range of probate disputes, including:
