Probate Attorneys Ready To Assist In A Family’s Time Of Need
The ideal time to call a lawyer for help settling an estate is within a month after the death of a family member. However, it is understandable that a husband, wife, parent or child of the deceased person may feel overwhelmed by the emotional and practical aspects of a death in the family and need to cope with the loss before contacting an attorney. Whether the need to deal with an attorney is immediately upon the death of a loved one or within the months that follow, there are compelling reasons to get in touch with a probate lawyer in order to assist with many of the overwhelming decisions and logistics that come with the loss of a loved one.
At Bradley Devitt Haas & Watkins, P.C., we are here to provide peace of mind as well as legal advice and guidance through the probate process. Over the years, our firm has earned a reputation for compassionate, professional service designed to ease practical burdens during a family’s time of need.

We can provide information at the pace that family members are ready to receive it on topics such as:
- Navigating the probate proceedings with the court, whether formal or informal
