probate attorney
Will-focused counsel
A probate attorney is a lawyer who specializes in the legal process of settling a deceased person's estate.
They guide executors and beneficiaries through validating wills, inventorying assets, paying debts, and distributing property to heirs.
Probate attorneys also handle disputes among beneficiaries and challenges to a will's validity: We hired a probate attorney after my father died without a will.
