Handling the Probate and Estate Administration Process
Probate is the process that is designed to see that a deceased person's debts are addressed and assets are passed on appropriately to loved ones. The process usually begins with naming a personal representative who is responsible for the administration of the deceased's property. The probate process can be complex and time consuming — especially during a time of grief and loss.
If you have lost a loved one, you want to spend time with your family. This is a time of emotional adjustment for you and the people you care about. At the Davis Law Firm, we encourage you to contact us so we can handle the legal end of things and you can focus on being with those you love.
How Long Does Probate Take?
There is an eight month claims period. This is the period during which creditors can bring claims of unpaid debts. Unfortunately, this means that, at the very least, the probate process will take eight months.
Often, there are immediate financial concerns that need to be addressed. With an experienced attorney on your side, you can be confident that your needs will be looked after. We have more than 30 years of experience serving people in Charleston and the surrounding parts of South Carolina
Other Estate Administration Issues to Consider
Not every estate needs to go through the probate process. If your loved one created a trust as part of their estate plan, probate may not be necessary. At our law firm, we can assist with the administration of trusts, as well as all other estate administration issues.
