Probate Explained

Probate is a court process that involves collecting a decedent's assets, notifying creditors, paying liabilities, and distributing the remaining assets to heirs. We work to guide executors and administrators through the probate process and the administration of a decedent's estate.


At the Law Office of Ian Noel, we know the probate process can be very complex. We can assist you and your family with all the necessary steps involved in probate, estate administration and estate litigation, including:

  • Filing of the will
  • Proving the will
  • Appointing an Administrator
  • Gathering assets to be distributed
  • Administration of an estate (with or without a will)
  • Will and trust contests, challenging wills and trusts when it is believed the documents were signed due to fraud, under duress or because of undue influence
  • Challenges to probate



As an executor, administrator or heir of an estate, you have certain rights and duties that we can help you protect. Our goal is to settle your loved one’s estate as quickly and painlessly as possible, while minimizing the costs that could be charged to the estate.

We will assist in probating Wills and administering the estates of people who have died, which may include filing Federal and/or State Estate Tax Returns.

Executor Representation

We will assist you if a friend or loved one has passed and you have been appointed as the executor / personal representative for the estate.

Beneficiary Representation

We will represent you if you are the beneficiary of a Will or Trust and want to be sure the executor or trustee is fulfilling their fiduciary obligations.

Avoiding Probate

We can also help your family avoid the probate process, if appropriate, through the creation of a proper estate plan.
