We recently realized it was time to update our Wills. My husband and I used Thompson and Donati Law for this serve. They were quick to answer all of our questions and the turn around time to produce the documens we needed was outstanding. I highly recommend this local/hometown firm.

Did You Know?
Did you know that estate administration often involves a complex process known as probate? Probate is the legal procedure that transfers ownership of property from a deceased person’s estate to their beneficiaries. This process includes managing both probate and non-probate transfers, such as life insurance, annuities, retirement plans, and trust assets.
Our probate attorneys are here to assist the personal representative of the estate with every step of the process. This includes gathering and valuing the decedent’s assets, preparing estate tax returns, filing necessary documents to release liens on real estate, and handling any related legal matters, such as will contests. We ensure that all legal requirements are met and that the deceased’s wishes are honored in accordance with the law.
Navigating the probate court and meeting both state and federal requirements can be daunting. However, our experienced probate attorneys at Thompson & Donati Law are dedicated to making the estate administration and probate process as smooth and efficient as possible. Contact us today for compassionate and knowledgeable representation in all your estate administration and probate needs.
