Maryland Probate Partner

What is Probate?

The court process by which a Will is proved valid or invalid. The legal process wherein the estate of a decedent is administered.

When a person dies, his or her estate must go through probate, which is a process overseen by a probate court. 

If the decedent leaves a will directing how his or her property should be distributed after death, the probate court must 

determine if it should be admitted to probate and given legal effect. If the decedent dies intestate—without leaving a will

—the court appoints a Personal Representative to distribute the decedent's property according to the laws of Descent and

Distribution. These laws direct the distribution of assets based on hereditary succession.

Have you been assigned as a
Personal Representative or Executor of a loved one's Will?

We're sure you are already distressed over the loss of a loved one but to also have been assigned as the Personal Representative or the Executor of a Will or Estate can be a very scary assignment especially if you've never done this before.  It's only normal to feel overwhelmed with this task!  Most folks will stress out over what seems a daunting task if they don't see any clear direction to take, especially if there is a house to deal with and it's loaded down with 50 years of "stuff" including family heirlooms.  This enormous responsibility can either freeze you in your tracks where you never get anything done or if you are fortunate, you can reach out for help and get some guidance and stress-relief!
