Probate Representation

Probate is the court-supervised process for wrapping up a person’s financial life: proving a will (if there is one), identifying property, paying valid claims, and transferring what remains to the right beneficiaries. At DK Legal, we handle the details so you can focus on your family.

What we do for you:

• File the petition and obtain your appointment as executor/administrator
• Notify heirs, beneficiaries, and known creditors; publish required notices
• Collect, inventory, and value estate assets (bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, business interests)
• Manage claims and bills; negotiate and pay valid debts and expenses
• Coordinate tax filings and, when needed, work with appraisers and accountants
• Obtain court approvals and deliver proper distributions and receipts
• Prepare the final accounting and close the estate

Common situations we handle:

• Simple, uncontested estates with a valid will
• Intestate estates (no will) requiring heirship determinations
• Real-estate heavy estates or farm/ranch assets
• Out-of-state heirs or personal representatives who need local counsel
• Contested matters such as will challenges, executor disputes, or removal/surcharge actions (when needed)

Our approach: clear timelines, plain-English updates, and practical fee planning. Whether the estate is straightforward or complex, we aim to move it forward with as little stress and delay as possible.
