Probate

Closing out an estate can be a time-consuming and complicated process, depending on the particularities of the estate plan. Though many estate planning attorneys advertise the benefit of a plan that circumvents formal probate, some decedents may not actually want to avoid the process, or they may simply have leftover estate assets that have not been moved beyond the purview of the probate process.

Probate administration is the last step in effectuating an estate plan. Here at the Law Office of Jae H. Lee, we are committed to helping personal representatives with the intricacies and challenges typical of the administrative process, from performing the duties required for closing out an estate, to cost-effectively administering the assets at-issue.
