Coming to terms with your parent's death is seldom an easy process. Even though you may be well into your own mid-life years and far into the journey of raising your own children, mourning your mother or father's passing is an emotional experience. If you are one of many adult children of recently deceased parents in South Dakota who are experiencing serious problems related to your mother's or father's will, such stress can complicate your grieving process.
How can an attorney help me with probate?
Although most of us don't like to think about it, the truth is that no one lives forever. When the inevitable occurs, your assets, no matter how large or small, will need to be distributed regardless of whether or not you have a will. Even if you have a will, your assets will still pass through probate. An experienced probate attorney can assist your personal representative and/or your family members with navigating the process in South Dakota.
What Does A Personal Representative Do?
There's a theory that some people see their lives flash before their eyes before they die, but when it does happen, handling the distribution of all the things they left behind hardly comes in a flash. In most cases, there are various items to disburse, old bills to pay, taxes to take care of, final medical and funeral related expenses to address and accounts to close.
