Probate: Avoiding Complications

Our probate lawyers are dedicated to relieving families of having to shoulder additional burdens at a time when attending to family matters are of central importance. At Gilliford Law, we gather documents and records while working with accountants to determine a person's assets and any debt against them. If a will or trust is in place, we file all necessary papers and finalize matters with the court in order to ensure all necessary directions and administrative oversight are in order. When there is no estate plan in place, we determine the value of an estate and oversee the settlement of all its affairs.
Protecting Your Business When Your Not Around

Most business owners don't realize how their business can be effected by a will or trust. If you own a company you can include instructions for the transfer of ownership, allocation of assets, and transfer of intellectual property rights in your will. We explain the financial and tax advantages associated with different kinds of wills and trust and work closely with you to ensure your goals are met.
