When a loved one passes away, there are a number of steps to take to determine how his or her assets will be distributed. These steps are all part of a process known as probate. At Care Law Colorado, LLC, we help our Denver-area clients understand the probate process so that they do not have to figure it out all by themselves during their time of loss.
Our approach to probate is simple and straightforward — we aim to get assets distributed for our clients as quickly as possible, and to help our clients make sure that the assets of the estate are distributed according to their loved ones' wishes.
The Probate Process
When we help our clients understand the probate process, we give them information about things such as:
- Filing the will with the appropriate probate court
- How to assign a personal representative
- Determining who creditors might be
- How to collect all of the estate's assets and income
- How to obtain the death certificate
- Locating heirs
These issues are representative of the numerous aspects of the probate process, but there are many others.
Denver Asset Distribution Lawyer
Since there are numerous steps and requirements in probate, it is best to have an attorney involved so that nothing is missed. If requirements are not met exactly, it can delay the distribution of assets. Having a lawyer involved also allows you to know that your loved ones' assets are being distributed exactly how they wanted them to be.
