Why You Need A Probate Attorney
Probate is complex.
Even with a will, you’ll need to navigate court filings, deadlines, hearings with a judge, and other formal procedures. The court WILL NOT provide legal advice.
You can be held personally liable.
If you are acting as administrator or executor of an estate, you will be held personally liable for any errors made throughout the probate process. Hiring a lawyer will ensure your duties are met properly.
Probate can take 10-18 months.
Delays are common, especially if paperwork is incomplete or a dispute arises.
Probate can cost 10-15% of the estate’s total value.
The longer the probate process takes, the more costly it becomes. Hiring an attorney is necessary to reduce probate fees and other ongoing costs (utilities, credit card fees, property taxes, HOA fees, etc.)
An experienced attorney can help you avoid costly errors, minimize stress and protect your family’s interests.

Testimonial
Attorney Baron and his staff are wonderful. During the initial meeting with Attorney
Baron, he explained everything that would happen during the estate process, he and
his staff kept me informed of all proceedings and were very patient with all my
questions and concerns. I was, and am, very happy with my experience with Baron
Law and would not hesitate to refer others to this law firm. - Donna N.
