Probate

Whenever an estate has a piece of real estate attached to it, the probate process is required. While most probate matters are resolved easily by using a will left by a decedent, there can be issues that create problems due to the real estate holdings left in the estate.

Partition Actions

When a decedent bequeaths real property to more than one person, there may be disputes among the new owners pertaining to the disposition of the property. One or more owners may be inclined to hold the property for future sale, one may wish to occupy the property, and one may be interested in selling to take advantage of the cash value. This type of dispute only has a couple of possible outcomes: Either buying out the person who wishes to liquidate or agreeing to sell the property. we can help you with these complex issues and help resolve differences.
