Probate
Compassionate Probate and Estate Administration Services
The loss of a loved one is never easy, and handling their affairs during such an emotional time can feel overwhelming. At Thomson Law, we’re here to provide guidance and support, helping you navigate the complexities of probate and estate administration with care and professionalism.
What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s assets are distributed according to their will—or, in the absence of a will, in accordance with state laws. This process can range from filing a few documents to a multi-year administration of assets, depending on the estate’s complexity.
How Thomson Law Can Help with Probate
Our experienced attorneys assist executors and family members in all aspects of probate, including:
Filing the necessary documents with the Ohio Probate Court
Collecting and valuating the loved one’s assets
Paying outstanding debts and required taxes
Accounting for assets and presenting them to the court
Distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries
Probate can be time-consuming, often lasting anywhere from 5 to 19 months. At Thomson Law, we strive to ease this burden, guiding you through each step with efficiency and care.
Trust Administration Services
If your loved one established a trust, their assets may bypass the probate process. Trust administration is generally faster and less costly than probate but still involves similar steps, including valuating assets, paying debts, and distributing the estate according to the trust’s terms.
At Thomson Law, we provide comprehensive trust administration services, ensuring the process is handled smoothly and in alignment with your loved one’s wishes.
