At Scarff Law Firm, PLLC, our lawyers have more than two decades of experience in litigation related to wills, trusts and probate. We are very familiar with the Washington state court system and can provide representation necessary to complete all aspects of the probate process, including distribution of the estate.
Probate Administration
Probate is the process of managing and distributing the property of the deceased. It involves gathering the decedent's assets, reviewing the will, paying the debts of the deceased and distributing all remaining assets. If there is no will, the decedent's estate will be administered pursuant Washington's laws of intestate succession.
Estates vary in size and complexity. If an estate is particularly large or complex, then an experienced probate lawyer is essential to the efficient completion of the probate or trust administration process. Regardless of the details of the estate, you do not have to go through this alone.
Litigation
If a will contest arises, the court system will examine the validity of the will and the remaining property will be distributed based on the court's decision concerning the will's validity. Our lawyers provide legal representation for all aspects of probate, including upholding and contesting the validity of a will.
