How A Milam County Probate Attorney Can Help You
After a person’s death, a course of legal action must be taken to transfer their legal property and personal effects to their heirs and take care of any liabilities, a process known as probate. A Milam County Probate Attorney can guide you through the details and represent you during any court appearances.
When a person has not left a Last Will and Testament, they are said to have died intestate. In this case, the court will appoint an administrator of the estate. If the decedent did leave a Last Will and Testament, an executor is usually named in the Will. In either instance, a probate attorney can make sure the procedure is done correctly and as painlessly as possible.

If you have any claims to negotiate regarding the estate, they are there to help you. When minor children are left behind, a probate attorney can advocate for their interests in court.
