What Happens During Probate?

After your loved one dies, the court will transfer your loved one's assets to the rightful beneficiaries. You can expect the court to...

• Attempt to validate your loved one's will-
  Missouri has specific requirements for wills. It is crucial to work with an estate administration lawyer to ensure that your loved one's wills check off the right boxes.

• Pay off your loved one's debts-
  Creditors may make claims for a certain time period. A probate Attorney in Mt. Vernon, Republic, and Springfield, Missouri can help you determine if those claims are valid.

• Distribute your loved one's assets-
