Accepting the responsibility to ensure that the property of another is distributed according to his/her wishes after death is important and noble.  Whether or not these wishes are conveyed in a Last Will and Testament, the personal representative (or sometimes called the estate administrator) may have to open a probate estate in the Probate Division of the Court.  After a probate estate is opened, compliance with various legal requirements is required for the personal representative to lawfully transfer property from the name of the deceased loved one to living beneficiaries. 

Our attorneys can represent you to petition the court to be appointed as the personal representative, if needed, and our attorneys can serve as your legal counsel as you execute your duties as personal representatives.
