08. Probate

Probate is the court-supervised process used to settle a person's estate after death. It involves confirming the validity of a will (if one exists), identifying assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing property to heirs or beneficiaries. For many families, probate comes at an already difficult time. The legal requirements, deadlines, and paperwork can feel confusing and burdensome - especially while you are grieving.

​

At Speer & Holliday, we help personal representatives, executors, and family members navigate the probate process with clarity and care. Our goal is to handle the legal details efficiently so you can focus on what matters most.

​

We assist with:

  • Formal and informal probate proceedings

  • Guidance for executors and personal representatives

  • Asset identification and valuation

  • Creditor claims and required notices

  • Court filings and deadlines

  • Distribution of estate assets

​

Whether the estate is simple or more complex, we provide steady guidance at each step and keep you informed throughout the process.

​

We also assist with guardianships and conservatorships for loved ones who are unable to make decisions for themselves.
