Probate

Experienced Washington Probate Administration Attorneys

Probate is a term that refers to the process of administering the estate of a person who has passed away. The decedents will typically name an individual, often a family member or close friend, to serve as a personal representative or the executor of the estate. In most cases, these individuals are not familiar with the legal duties and requirements that come with the job, which can lead to numerous complications and concerns.

At Ellerd, Hultgrenn and Dahlhauser, we represent clients on all sides of complex estate administration matters, including executors and personal representatives, trustees, beneficiaries, and others. Our thorough knowledge of the law and extensive experience in these cases puts us in a strong position to provide the skillful representation you require.
