Probate

The death of a family member or loved one can leave families facing unfamiliar legal and financial responsibilities at an already difficult time. We guide personal representatives, trustees, and families through the probate and estate administration process with practical advice and clear explanations at every stage. Our goal is to make the process as straightforward and efficient as possible while ensuring that the estate is administered properly and in accordance with Washington law.

We assist with all aspects of probate and estate administration, including opening probate proceedings, appointment of personal representatives, creditor claims, identifying and valuing estate assets, resolving issues involving real property and nonprobate assets, preparing inventories and accountings, making distributions to beneficiaries, and closing the estate. Whether an estate is relatively simple or involves trusts, complex assets, creditor issues, or disputes among beneficiaries, we provide experienced guidance tailored to the circumstances of each estate.
