AREAS OF PRACTICE

Probate Administration

Probate is the legal process of administering one’s estate after death. It includes proving a will in court, determining heirs, creating an inventory of the assets of the deceased, paying debts, and distributing the appropriate amount of assets to the correct heirs.

Will Preparation

One of the easiest and most important ways to care for your family after you pass away is to draft a will. It’s pointless to spend your lifetime providing for your children only to let the State decide who should care for them and where your money should go after your death.

Trust Preparation

Establishing a trust for your assets can ensure direction for those assets after death, beneficiary creditor protection, privacy and expediency without court involvement, and minimization of potential issues among beneficiaries, including contests filed against the estate.

Contested Probate & Uncontested Probate

If a beneficiary produces a will you believe is fraudulent or challenges a will you believe is authentic, difficult litigation can follow. Our probate lawyers represent clients in contested probate, and we offer flat-fee services for uncontested probate.

Dependent Administration

When a loved one dies without a will and the beneficiaries do not cooperate, this often results in dependent administrations.

These require extensive, complex filings in and hearings with the court, which many probate attorneys refuse to take on.

Trust Administration

When it comes to managing your assets, we understand you want to ensure your affairs are managed with care and dependability.

At the Law Office of Todd A. Wilson, we specialize in probate, trust, and will matters.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had tried a couple of other legal firms first, but hadn't gotten good service as we tried to update our trust. However, Wilson Law, and particularly the lawyer we worked with, Sayers Owen, listened to our desired changes, developed drafts for us to review, talked with us until all our questions were answered, and delivered the final version on time. Job well done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I give five stars to the Law office of Todd A. Wilson. Everyone I had dealings with at this firm was professional and courteous. They charged a very reasonable rate for the probate work related to my mother’s estate. I want to give a shout- out to Angela McMurrey for her helpful nature and quick response time. A special shout- out goes to attorney Peter Shuler. I found him extremely knowledgeable and so easy to work with. He was very patient with me. This was especially true when he explained the probate process as it related to the estate in terms I could understand. I was impressed with his advice and helpful suggestions. I could not have found a better probate attorney. I highly recommend Peter Shuler for all your probate needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Creating a Will is complicated and confusing. It was an emotional process for me but my attorney was always available and answered all my questions fully so that I clearly explained what I wanted to accomplish.  Bailey Aprile was professional and sincere which is what I needed to get my Will completed.
