Help For Probate Cases

Washington probate law can be very complicated, especially after the loss of a family member. The benefits of quality representation of an Olympia probate lawyer who is knowledgeable in handling probate, real estate, wills, trusts, and estate planning matters include efficiency, assurance, and positive results.

Probate Administration With and Without A Will

Attorney Ryan A. Jacobsen at Jacobsen Law Office helps people with the probate process, or with their non-probate needs. When a person dies with a will, the court appoints a personal representative to administer the terms of the will, pay taxes, pay creditors, sell real estate and other assets, and distribute property to beneficiaries. When a person dies without a will, Washington probate law provides for intestate administration of an estate, and in some cases adjudication. When parties have disputes over estate property, we help families resolve their concerns efficiently and effectively, and ensure our clients’ interests are protected.

We also represent out-of-state clients who are either appointed to administer an estate in the Thurston County Probate Court, or who are interested parties whose rights and interests are unrepresented in Washington.

Non-Probate Assets

Additionally, many probate and estate matters involve non-probate assets, such as life insurance, social security benefits, IRA accounts, stocks, and other non-probate assets that have their own special rules. Whether your matter involves probate of a last will and testament, estate rights, estate administration, insurance, access to bank accounts, a contested will, the sale of real estate, or any other probate or real estate matter, our Olympia law office can offer you effective legal counsel and representation.
