David A. LaRue, Attorney at Law, Represents Families During Probate
in the Steubenville & St. Clairsville Areas
What is Probate and
How Can an Attorney Help?
The probate process determines the distribution of a deceased individual’s will. After death, the probate hearing oversees the legal process of the administration of a testator’s estate. The goal of a probate hearing is to make sure a will becomes legally enforceable and to allow an executor to distribute the assets of the deceased. It is important to move through probate with a qualified estate planning attorney like David A. LaRue. Our attorney will guide you through the entire process and provide you with excellent representation.
It can be beneficial, and is often possible, to avoid probate entirely by setting up a properly prepared plan. Call David A. LaRue, Attorney at Law, today at (740) 284-1000 or contact us online for more information on probate matters.
What Happens if a Loved One Dies Without a Will?
One of the most commonly asked questions by people in the Steubenville and St. Clairsville areas involves what happens when their loved one passes away without a will. When this occurs, the person in question has passed away intestate and a probate process will happen to administer assets. The downside to probate without a will is that the courts determine asset distribution according to intestacy laws rather than the wishes of the deceased.
