To start the process, the first thing you have to do is figure out if there is a will. After that, you will know which type of probate is ahead of you. Probate is started by filing a petition with the clerk of court in the county where the deceased person lived when they died, regardless of where their assets and other property may be located.
Your petition has to follow the rules of court procedure and the format of the documents must be correct or you may suffer costly delays. Once the petition has been filed, probate is open and you will be required to complete the next steps within the time limit set by the rules of the court.
If you use our services, not only will your documents be correct but all the next steps will already be laid out in order for you to easily go forward with the rest of the process.
