Here is what we do differently at Grimaldi Law Firm for you estate planning:

First, we focus on the needs of growing families and make the estate planning experience easy and convenient. Estate planning is not just for the very wealthy or the very old. In fact, if you have young children, it’s imperative that you plan for them. We provide comprehensive guidance to ensure that your children will be cared for by the people you want in the way that you want in case something happens to you. We don’t leave it up to the authorities to make these decisions for you. Second, perhaps this is your first time meeting with an estate planning attorney, and we’ll take good care of you. You can count on us to answer all of your questions in a timely manner, in a way you can understand (no legalese here), and we will never charge you for contacting us. In fact, we encourage you to call us. Everything we do is billed flat fee, agreed to in advance – no surprises. Finally, we don’t just provide a set of documents and send you on your way. We work with you to ensure that your assets are properly titled, and we review your plan at least every three years at no additional charge so that your plan stays up to date.

Probate is a legal process that takes place after one has passed away and most often a necessary process. When probate is needed, a personal representative for the estate will need to present to the court the beneficiaries, the assets, and the debts.

Anyone can petition the court to be a personal representative to the estate, but ultimately the judge will appoint.

While this is an uncomfortable and unfortunate issue to have, Grimaldi Law firm handles probate cases with the utmost sensitivity and care for all parties involved.
