Planning Your Estate Matters
St. Louis Probate Lawyer | Attorney Greg Robinson
Probate is the process by which a decedent’s property, known as the "estate," is passed to his or her heirs and others named in the will or in accordance with the law if the decedent did not have a will. The entire process, under jurisdiction of the probate court, takes from five months to two years depending on the complexity of the estate.
St. Louis probate attorney Greg Robinson understands that distributing an estate while greiving the loss of a loved one can be over overwhelming and may complicate an already complex area of law - probate.
Our Missouri probate lawyers have significant legal experience helping people plan their estates and guiding people through the probate process with efficiency and ease. Contact Greg Robinson and his experienced staff to schedule a meeting to learn how we can help you during this time.
Probate Process
Probate is the court process used to determine the validity of a will and oversee the payment of creditors and distribution of estate assets. Even if there is no valid will at the time of death, the estate will still go through the probate procedure. Since probate is regulated by state laws, there are specific procedures proscribed by each state for carrying out the process.
Most people do not have the experience to execute a Will or administrate an estate properly. Our attorneys can assist the Executor of a Will or Administrator of a Trust with the initial proceedings to petition to probate an estate. We will help ensure the proper proceedings and notifications take place to legally dissolve a loved one's estate according to his/her wishes.
There are ways to avoid probate, beginning with a well crafted estate plan. Greg Robinson has more than 19 years of estate planning experience and can help create a strategy for your goals.
