Miller, Devlin & McLean - Probate Lawyers - Estate Administration

If you're named as a personal representative in Washington State or Idaho and need help with the probate of a will, or if you're asserting or defending a claim against an estate or a challenge to a will, contact the Spokane estate administration attorneys at Miller, Devlin & McLean. Our experience with the probate process and familiarity with probate court procedures in both states can help achieve the prompt and cost-effective winding up of the estate while avoiding unnecessary delays and expenses.

On behalf of the estate, we can discharge the following functions:

• Prove the validity of the will
• Give notice to heirs and creditors
• Marshal assets and file an inventory
• Review and resolve claims against the estate
• Appraise and sell real property as necessary
• Distribute the assets to the heirs according to the terms of the will

Our Washington probate lawyers can also help with the post-mortem administration of trusts, the appointment and qualification of successor trustees, and making sure that all assets have been properly transferred into trust.

We also represent either the estate, a trustee, or a challenging heir or beneficiary in probate litigation. We handle cases involving allegations of undue influence or coercion, challenges to the validity of the will or the decedent's testamentary capacity, asset valuation or community property characterization issues, or breach of fiduciary duty on the part of a personal representative, trustee, or guardian.
