Meticulous Probate Administration And Effective Will Litigation

When a loved one dies, the last thing anyone wants is to get bogged down in legal questions. That’s one of the benefits of working with a skilled probate administration attorney like Daniel Doda of Rochester.

We work with executors, administrators, personal representatives and heirs, taking action to successfully close the loved one’s estate. A primary task is paying debts before distributing assets to heirs. This means:

• Searching the decedent’s personal papers to create a list of potential creditors
• Examining the decedent’s bank accounts for recurring payments that may indicate an existing debt
• Learning the status of the decedent’s active credit card accounts
• Contacting parties that provided medical care or assistance prior to the decedent’s death
