Probate

Law Offices of Richard A. Sarner, LLC ● Stamford, Connecticut ● New York City ● Wills and Probate Lawyers

Probate can be a long and costly process that many people wish to avoid. The process of administering a will can be made much simpler with careful planning. Foremost in this planning is to have an experienced attorney draft or update your will. A valid will prevents intestacy—dying without a valid will, which prompts court intervention—and gives you control over how your assets will be distributed upon your death. While it will not by itself avoid probate, a properly drafted will can lessen the possibility of expensive probate litigation. At the Law Offices of Richard A. Sarner, LLC, we can work with you to avoid probate, help administer your estate, and represent your estate if there is a contested will.

Careful estate planning and a clearly drafted will can avoid most of the problems associated with probate. The Law Offices of Richard A. Sarner, LLC, offers probate administration services that leave our clients in control of the process and the costs.
