PROBATE

The Dickey Law Firm can help you create an effective estate plan or update an old estate plan to meet your current needs. However, if someone in your family has died and the estate needs to be probated, they are happy to assist you through the, often strenuous, process.

The Dickey Law Firm handles uncontested probate matters, and guardianships and conservatorships, and pride ourselves in their constant communication with our clients during this potentially stressful time.  

When a guardian is appointed by the court, they are placed in charge of making decisions for a minor child or person with special needs. Guardianships are often tricky and can be complex, but the Dickey Law Firm has the experience to guide you through the process.

Like guardianships, when a conservator is appointed, they become responsible for the care of another person. Conservatorships are commonly necessary in cases where someone is mentally ill, suicidal, incapacitated, and other urgent circumstances. It may be necessary to establish a conservatorship over an elder’s estate when proper estate planning documents have not been established.
