Probate
After the passing of a loved one, probate can be a tangled process for people to manage. In this complex procedure, the validity of a deceased individual's will is determined, or the absence of a will is adressed. Throughout probate, the court supervised transfer of the title of an asset is completed, as well as the transfer of property from the deceased to the beneficiaries as stated in the will, or dictated by state statutes. Grandinetti & Molinar strives to reach an efficient and effective resolution to your probate case while maintaining transparency at each step of the process.

Estate Planning
Traditionally, estate planning has consisted of writing a meticulously drafted will to express someone's desires for their estate. However, it can also involve the use of various trusts, annual gifting programs, and family limited partnerships. There are three essential components to consider when planning an estate:
The type of assets
Personal desires regarding division of the assets
Tax considerations
All three must be reviewed to ensure that an individual or married couple's desires are effectively accomplished at death.
