Losing a loved one is never easy, and the last thing you want to worry about during such a difficult time is settling their estate. At VW Law, our experienced estate administration team is here to help guide you through the process. Whether it's reviewing legal documents, finding and collecting on life insurance policies, or navigating the probate process, we are here to support you every step of the way.

Reviewing The Will

When a loved one passes away, there are often numerous legal matters that need to be addressed. One of the first steps in settling an estate is reviewing the deceased's will and other legal documents to determine their wishes for the distribution of assets. We can assist you in interpreting these documents and ensuring that everything is carried out according to your loved one's wishes.

Reviewing Insurance Policies & Benefits

In addition to reviewing legal papers, our team can also help your family navigate any life insurance policies or retirement benefits that may be available. Dealing with insurance companies and financial institutions can be overwhelming, but our attorneys have the knowledge and experience needed to ensure that you receive all of the benefits you are entitled to.

Finalizing Taxes

Another important aspect of settling an estate is filing your loved one's final tax return. Our team can provide guidance on this process and ensure that everything is completed accurately and in a timely manner. We understand how stressful dealing with taxes can be, especially during a time of grief, so let us take this burden off your shoulders.

Probate Process

If probate is required for your loved one's estate, we can walk you through this process as well. Probate can be complex and time-consuming, but with our knowledge on your side, we can help streamline the process and ensure that everything is handled efficiently.
