probate and estates administration

Newport & Associates handles all forms of Probate and Estate Administration matters.  

Probate is the legal process by which a persons debts are paid and assets are distributed upon her or his death.  Various probate procedures can be used depending on the circumstance in order to minimize costs and speed the process.  Many times, a full probate administration is not necessary in order to accomplish transfer of all the assets and pay the liabilities.   

Estate Administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the decedent's assets.  Procedures necessary to complete different estate administrations may vary greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with experience in this area of the law to ensure that the decedent's assets are distributed correctly.
