Estate Planning & Probate Attorneys in Nashua, NH
Probate of an estate is the legal process that happens after a person dies. The process involves gathering and distributing the decedent’s estate and assets according to his or her will, or according to state law if there is no will. While probate can be a relatively simple process of carrying out a decedent’s will, it can also be a complex process of trying to determine what the decedent really wanted to have happen with his or her assets and property—and even how they wanted their children to be cared for.
Establishing guardianship for injured or disabled adults or children is also within the jurisdiction of the Probate Court. Making sure that an appropriate claim for damages is made on behalf of such a person is the responsibility of the Guardian, who in most cases is the parent of the injured or disabled child or a relative of an injured adult. Since an injured or disabled adult or child may not have legal standing to make such a claim on their own, it is important that the Guardian is appointed to tend to the legal matters of the injured individual so that valuable legal rights are not waived.
