ESTATE PLANNING
The process of transferring wealth from one generation to the next can be complicated. At Burnette, Dobson & Pinchak our probate and estate administration attorneys have extensive experience helping clients work through these difficulties to find a solution that works for them.
Why YOU should always have a will:
YOU decide how your Estate will be distributed
YOU decide who will take care of your minor children
YOU decide at what age your children should receive assets
YOU decide what conditions must be met in order to receive assets
YOU decide who will be the Executor of your Estate to carry out your wishes
PROBATE ADMINISTRATION
Probate is a legal process by which a persons debts are settled and legal title to
their property is transferred to beneficiaries.
We help personal representatives, administrators, and executors work through this system to accomplish an efficient and accurate distribution of assets. Our attention to detail and substantial experience in probate matters allows us to work quickly and handle an estate properly.
