What is probate?

The death of a loved one brings more than just grief, it raises many legal questions, like “what is probate?”

Probate is the legal process whereby a will is โ€œprovenโ€ in court. The process includes distributing the assets of a deceased person to the heirs of an estate. Probating the estate can be a long, drawn-out process that can be very time consuming even when there is not any conflict among family members.

How the probate court proceeds depend in part upon whether your loved one died with a will, or intestate (without a will). If there is no will or other testamentary document, family members may disagree about their loved oneโ€™s home, property, assets, and debts. The Columbia, South Carolina Probate and Estate Planning Lawyers are here to help you.

With proper planning, certain assets may be kept out of probate, potentially minimizing tax consequences. Creating the proper legal documents now may also reduce the likelihood of a will challenge and/or fights related to assets after your passing.

What Our Clients Say

They truly care
Mrs Vallery, who answered the phone took more care and attention to detail than any other law office, that I have called, in 2 years+. She diligently took notes to give to the lawyers and cared about my situation and let me actually tell everything without cutting me short. Out of over 100 law offices, this is rare treatment. Care. Consideration. That means more than anything going through this…

From Self-Representation to Victory in SSDI Case!
My experience with Mario and his staff was outstanding. When everyone said to give up my case with SSDI and after being poorly represented and losing. I had to file my own appeals and represent myself. I literally called every attorney in the book. Then I called Mario cold – I expected one more no! Well, this gentleman took my case and won. He knows the law and cares a lot. I am proud to call him my friend. If you need a professional to help you, call these guys.

A Lifesaver in the Courtroom, Ensuring Freedom with A1 Professionalism
Needed a lifesaver. I had gotten myself into a bad situation and the possibility of going to prison. Through the diligence and hard work done by attorney Alley B., I was able to walk out of that courtroom a free man. No tricks just hard down attorney work. She was an A1 professional and knew every inch of the Law pertaining to my case. For that, I am forever grateful.
