Losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult experiences. Dealing with the legal complexities of an estate while grieving can feel overwhelming. A probate attorney at Tighe and Jenkins, LLC is here to ease that burden. Alexis Tighe provides compassionate and efficient guidance through the probate process, helping executors and administrators navigate their legal duties. From filing the initial petition with the court to the final distribution of assets, we handle the technical details so you can focus on your family. Our goal is to resolve the estate as quickly and smoothly as possible, minimizing the potential for conflict or delay.
The probate process involves identifying the deceased’s assets, paying outstanding debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property to heirs and beneficiaries. As an experienced probate attorney, Alexis Tighe ensures that every step is taken in accordance with the law and the deceased’s will. If there is no will, we help you navigate the state’s intestacy laws to determine the proper distribution. We act as a professional buffer, handling communications with creditors, financial institutions, and the court. This high-level oversight is essential for preventing personal liability for the executor and ensuring that the estate is handled with integrity.
In some cases, disputes arise during the probate process. This might involve a challenge to the validity of the will, disagreements among beneficiaries, or claims of breach of fiduciary duty. As a probate attorney, Alexis Tighe provides the skilled representation needed to resolve these disputes. We strive for mediation and settlement whenever possible to preserve family relationships and estate assets. However, we are also prepared to litigate in probate court to protect the intentions of the deceased and the rights of our clients. Our approach is always to seek the most direct and respectful resolution to even the most complex estate conflicts.
