Legal Representation that Reflects Your Values

Probate is a long, complex process that can lead to disputes between family members, creditors, and other people who have touched the deceased’s life. If you have lost a loved one, you are already suffering enough and do not need the extra stress of the probate process.

When you need experienced legal representation that understands your Christian values, contact our Kansas estate administration attorney online or call us to schedule an initial consultation to discuss your situation. We will remain sensitive to the needs of your family as we guide you through the estate administration process. Whether your loved one left a will, trust, or no estate plan at all, we will make sure your rights are protected.

We Handle Probate and Estate Administration

At the Weber Law Office, P.A., we guide individuals and families through the entire estate administration and probate process, including:

• Determining whether there is a will

• Probating the will within six months of the date of death

• Appointing an executor or administrator

• Valuing and collecting the estate property

• Evaluating and paying debts of the estate

• Determining who has the right to each piece of property and notifying the heirs

• Distributing the property to the rightful heirs

If you are facing a will or trust contest, or any other probate litigation, our Wichita will contest attorney can help defend your interests in probate court.

Helping You with Determinations of Descent

You may have to file a determination of descent claim if your family member did not have a will and left the real estate solely in his or her name. In these cases, you do not have to notify creditors of the estate. The proceeding will determine who should receive what assets and in what shares. It typically takes about 30 days.

Avoiding Probate with Small Estates

For smaller estates, probate may not be necessary as long as the estate only consists of personal property and the estate is worth less than any creditor demands against it. We can help with all of the necessary paperwork and filing of affidavits.

Corporate Estates

We can help corporations and other businesses rework their bylaws after partners or owners pass away without leaving proper estate planning documents. We will address all corporate-owned property and succession interests.

If you need to address these issues or other estate planning concerns, call Wichita estate planning attorney J. Joseph Weber today. You can also schedule consultations through our website. Appointments are available on weekdays between 8 am and 5 PM, and occasionally on the weekend or in the evening.
