Minnesota Probate Attorney
Probate is the process of closing all of the financial affairs of a decedent and distributing the remaining assets of an estate according to the wishes of the decedent. The probate process can be complicated or simple, depending on the particular circumstances.

Reasons for avoiding Probate are the fees set by statute and/or the court (depending on state laws) for attorneys, executors and administrators, the need to publish notices, court hearings, paperwork, the public nature of the proceedings and delays while waiting for creditors to file claims even when the deceased owed no one.

The executor of an estate has the responsibility for completing the probate process. During this process, disputes can arise among the beneficiaries of a will, or between the executor and the beneficiaries regarding the probate process. Hoffman Law Offices of Minnesota will conduct and defends all types of probate litigation, including:

• Allegations of executor malpractice
• Contested wills
• Lack of capacity of the decedent to write a will
• Undue influence in the writing or amendment of wills
• And others
