Probate

What Is Estate and Probate Law?

Probate is the legal process through which the Executor of your will goes to court and winds up your affairs by distributing the assets of your estate accordingly to the provision of your will. If you pass away without leaving a will, then your assets will be distributed according to state law, through a process called Estate Administration. If you need help navigating these legal waters, the team at Vernon & Associates, P.C. can help. Call us today to schedule a consultation at our law office in Jamaica.
