Excellent Representation to Support You.

Probate

The attorneys in Parrett Porto’s Probate Practice Group have the experience and expertise to help you successfully navigate legal issues in the Probate court, including probating wills and estates; administering intestate estates; challenging wills, trusts, or other estate planning vehicles; pursuing or defending a conservatorship; accountings under a Power of Attorney; and protecting your interest as a creditor of an estate.  In addition, Parrett Porto’s attorneys have extensive experience in the Children’s Probate court and can represent your interests in issues including guardianship, termination of parental rights, adoption, name change petitions, and more.  

Though the Probate court can feel less formal than Superior Court, you should think twice about whether to represent yourself in any action there.  For example, some of the decisions made during the course of probating even an ordinary Estate have dramatic and permanent tax ramifications, and there can be costly consequences to you and others if the wrong decision is made.  Likewise, many of the matters that are adjudicated in Probate court have drastic consequences that cannot be easily undone.  Not to mention the difficulties of navigating a legal process when you or your family members are grieving or emotionally charged.  Parrett Porto’s attorneys are well-versed in the procedural process and legalities of all Probate court matters, and are comfortable and proficient in pursuing your goals. We strive to provide you with sensitive, efficient, and effective service with an eye toward comprehensive resolution of the problem at hand.
