People may be familiar with the term probate, but may not be aware of what the process actually involves. In short, probate or estate administration is a court-managed proceeding in which a deceased individual's assets are managed and distributed. While this seems simple enough, it is essential to have proper legal representation to navigate the process.

Most people do not want to think about what will happen if they become incapacitated or pass away, but establishing an estate plan is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones. How will your family deal with your incapacity or death? Who will make decisions on your behalf? How will your assets be protected?
