Probate and Trust Administration


The purpose of probate is to collect and inventory the property of a decedent, pay creditors and distribute any remaining assets or proceeds to the heirs and beneficiaries of a decedent.  If a person dies having executed a will, a court appoints an executor to administer the probate.  If a person dies without a will in place, the person is intestate, and a court appoints an administrator. 

We represent personal representatives, estate administrators with probate and estate administration.  We recognize that grief and stress can accompany the passing of a loved one and offer compassionate legal guidance.

We work closely with personal representatives and administrators through every step of the probate and estate administration process from filing the petition to closing the probate.  We can ensure that the estate is managed efficiently and in compliance with the rules and procedures of Washington law so you can focus on what matters most.
