Helping You Manage Your Loved One's Estate
If you have recently lost a loved one, an experienced attorney can help you through the probate process. This can be a very complex and stressful process. You do not have to face it alone.
The attorneys at the law firm of Goldsmith & Guymon are available to help you.
With more than a decade of experience on our side, we know how to maneuver through the court system. We understand the value of listening to you and learning about your loved one's wishes, as well as the needs of you and your family. Our dedication to personal attention helps us fully understand your objectives.
The Four Levels of Probate Administration
The complexity of probate administration tends to increase with the value of the estate. Our lawyers can serve your legal needs no matter how large or small the estate in question:
- For estates under $25,000: Cases can be resolved through the use of affidavits for personal property. These cases may be completed very quickly, following the expiration of 40 days after the death of the loved one, so long as there is no real property.
- For estates under $100,000: Cases can be resolved through the use of a set-aside proceeding. These cases may be resolved within three weeks, so long as the loved one has been deceased for 30 or more days. The set aside may be used for both personal and real property.
- For estates under $200,000: Cases can be resolved through summary administration. These proceedings are more time consuming than a set aside but are shorter than a general administration.
- For estates over $200,000: Cases can be resolved through general administration, which is the largest type of administration in Nevada.
When you turn to us for help, we will fully explain the details of the probate administration process that applies to your case. We will keep you involved and informed from the start of your case to the finish.
Disputes During the Probate Process
Unfortunately, the manner in which estates are distributed is often the source of serious conflict. An amicable resolution to these disputes may not be possible.
Our attorneys can represent your interests in litigation resulting from will and trust contests, allegations of mishandling of trusts and other estate disputes. If an estate distribution conflict features diverse assets and presents complex legal issues, we have the experience and skill to fight for you in court to pursue a positive outcome.
