Probate is the judicial process by which a will is “proven” in a court of law and accepted as a legal document. Probate is the first step in the legal process of administering an estate of a deceased person. The probate process is in place to ensure the distribution of the deceased’s assets according to their will or to their next of kin in the absence of a legal will.
A probate lawyer, like Nathan D. Pace, P.C., helps to administer an estate after a person has passed. We are usually asked for assistance if there was not a legal will in place prior to the deceased’s passing. If you or a loved one needs help with writing a will, we welcome you to contact our local wills lawyer today.

While you can technically go through the probate process on your own, working with an experienced attorney makes everything much easier. Here are some of the things that our probate attorney can do to help you:
