Probate
To legally distribute a deceased person’s estate, it will most likely need to go through the probate process first. The court has a set of guidelines enforced to probate a will, and the personal representative (executor) named in the will must go through the necessary steps to carry out his or her responsibilities. Local probate attorneys are available to help executors in this elaborate and essential procedure.

Guardianship & Conservatorship
The court appoints a guardian to make health-related and lifestyle choices for someone known by law as an “incapacitated person” (also known as the “ward”). Depending on the ward’s financial condition, the court may also appoint a conservator to make financial decisions of someone known by law as a “protected person” (also a “ward”). Another factor to consider is the mental health of the incapacitated or protected person, because if the ward is violent or does not follow instructions and is a potential flight risk, you as the Guardian may need the authority to place the ward in a psychiatric hospital and the court will need to add that duty to the appointed guardian’s responsibilities.
