Why Your Needs a Probate Lawyer?
The probate process can be complex and overwhelming, whether you are dealing with an estate that has a Last Will and Testament or one that does not. As a probate lawyer near you, Daniel S. Pickens Law is here to guide you through every step of the administration process, ensuring that your loved one’s estate is handled with care and precision.
The Probate Process with a Last Will and Testament
The executor named in the will must file the original will with the probate court in the county where the decedent lived. The court will then validate the will and officially appoint the executor to manage the estate.

Key Differences Between Probate with a Will and Without a Will
Probate can involve complex legal and financial issues. We help resolve disputes, handle creditor claims, and ensure that all debts and taxes are paid accurately and on time.
Distribution of Assets
With a Will: The executor distributes assets according to the specific instructions laid out in the will.
Complexity and Timeframe
With a Will: The process can be more straightforward and quicker because the will provides clear instructions for asset distribution.
Administrator
With a Will: The decedent nominates an executor in the will, and the court typically honors this choice.
