WHAT WE OFFER
Estate distribution, also known as estate planning or probate law, involves the legal processes related to the management and distribution of a deceased person's assets and properties.

Our Estate Distribution practice helps individuals and families navigate the legal complexities involved in the transfer of assets and wealth from one generation to another.

As probate lawyers, we guide our clients through the often complex and emotionally charged process of estate administration and planning and help them navigate the legal intricacies surrounding wills, trusts, and probate court procedures.

Our role does not end with providing our Clients with sound legal advice but also listening to their concerns and provide guidance with sensitivity. 

 
Wills and Trusts

We assist you to plan for the orderly distribution of the your assets and properties upon death. This involves creating legally sound documents such as wills, trusts and powers of attorney. 

Creating a good will, also known as a last will and testament, is a crucial step in estate planning to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death.

Grant of Probate
Probate is the legal process by which a deceased person's estate is settled, debts are paid, and assets are distributed to beneficiaries or heirs. 

We understand probate laws and procedures, including filing necessary court documents, attending court hearings, obtaining the grant of probate and facilitating the final distribution and transfer of assets.


Letters of Administration

If a loved one passes on without a will, we assist our Clients with the application for a Letter of Administration. 

A Letter of Administration is a legal document issued by a court that grants a person the authority to manage and administer the estate of a deceased person when that person dies without a valid will (intestate) or when the named executor in the will is unable or unwilling to fulfill their duties. This document is typically issued in  court proceedings.

Property Transfer to Beneficiaries
After the probate process, we continue to assist our clients with distribution and transfer of the deceased person's asset to the beneficiaries under the will or as determined by the court.  .


How to Prepare
expert-icon2
COnsult a LaWyer
Don't wait to seek legal counsel. Consult with a probate lawyer as soon as possible after the demise of your loved one. As time goes by, the process of obtaining probate may become more complex as circumstances change.

 A probate lawyer can provide guidance on your entitlements, responsibilities and the steps you should take to prepare for a smooth probate process. 

Early consultation can also help you make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls.

Gather Documentation
Start gathering required documentations such as the Last Will and Testament of the Deceased, death certificate, identification documents of the executors and beneficiaries, property details including bank account, property/land titles, quit rent and assesments and documentation related to other assets and debts. Accurate property information is essential for property division and transfer. 

Having this information readily available can streamline the probate process.

expert-icon3
HOLD FAMILY DISCUSSIONS
If the Deceased did not leave a Will, the family members (typically children, spouse and parents) should hold a discussion and agree on the person who will take lead to administer the estate of the Deceased. 

The appointed person can then seek legal counsel to advise him/her a on the court process and intricacies of applying for a Letter of Administration.

Courts typically require that all beneficiaries to come into an agreement on an Administrator for the Estate of the Decease
