ABOUT OUR PRACTICE

Probate and Estate Administration Attorneys

If you are responsible for probate or estate administration in the Poconos, MHK Attorneys is here to guide you through the process and ensure that the decedent’s wishes are honored. The probate process can be complex and time-consuming, but with the right legal support, you can navigate it smoothly.

Understanding Probate and Estate Administration

Probate is the legal process by which a deceased person’s estate is administered, including the distribution of assets and payment of debts. Estate administration involves managing the deceased person’s assets, ensuring all taxes are paid, and distributing the remaining assets to the heirs. The process may involve challenges and disputes, and MHK Attorneys can help resolve them efficiently.

Legal Assistance with Probate and Estate Administration

Under Pennsylvania law, executors or administrators must follow a strict process when administering an estate. MHK Attorneys will assist you in filing the necessary paperwork, notifying creditors, and ensuring that assets are distributed according to the decedent’s will or, if no will exists, the laws of intestate succession.
