Estate Planning

Estate planning involves the process of organizing and arranging the management and disposal of a person’s estate during their life and after death, ensuring that their wishes are honored and their assets are protected. This typically includes drafting wills, establishing trusts, appointing guardians for minor children, and creating powers of attorney for healthcare and financial decisions.

Probate Law

Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s will is validated, and their estate is administered according to the terms of the will or, if no will exists, according to state law. This process involves proving the validity of the will in court, appointing an executor or administrator to manage the estate, identifying and inventorying the deceased’s assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries.

Creditors’ Rights

Creditors’ rights in bankruptcy refer to the legal entitlements and protections afforded to creditors when a debtor files for bankruptcy. In the context of bankruptcy proceedings, creditors have the right to file claims against the debtor’s estate to recover a portion of what they are owed. These rights aim to balance the interests of creditors with the debtor’s need for relief, ensuring that the bankruptcy process is fair and equitable.
