Guiding Families Through Life’s Most Difficult Transitions
Losing a loved one is hard enough—navigating the legal process that follows shouldn’t add more stress. Probate is the court-supervised process of settling a deceased person’s estate, and while it’s designed to provide order and resolution, it can often feel overwhelming for grieving families.
At Brodersen Law, we help families and executors manage the probate process with clarity, efficiency, and compassion. Whether you need help filing a will, administering an estate, or resolving a dispute, we’re here to guide you every step of the way—with a steady hand and a listening ear.
What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process used to:
- Validate a will (if one exists)
- Appoint a personal representative (executor)
- Identify and inventory assets
- Pay valid debts and taxes
- Distribute remaining assets to heirs or beneficiaries
Each state has its own procedures and requirements. Even in straightforward cases, probate can be time-consuming and complex—especially for those unfamiliar with legal forms, deadlines, and fiduciary responsibilities.
That’s where Brodersen Law comes in. We make the process easier, faster, and less stressful for families during a challenging time.
