Of Your Estate

Brynteson Law makes sure the probate process happens legally and efficiently. We make sure the process costs as little as possible.

Probate Is The Legal Procedure Estates Go Through After
You Pass Away

The procedure consists of distributing your estate to your heirs based on your will or trust. Probate is much easier if you already have an estate plan.

All Wills Must Go Through Probate

When you pass away, probate happens regardless of whether or not you have a will or estate plan. However, we recommend you create an estate plan to make the process simpler.

What is Probate?

Probate is a court supervised process which authenticates your will and allows your executor to distribute your property.

What Gets Passed on During Probate?

If one of your beneficiaries passes away before you, you need to determine if their share lapses or passes on to their beneficiaries. If your son or daughter dies before you, do they have children or your grandchildren? These questions need to be answered to clarify your estate plan and make sure state law does not provide the answer to these questions.

What Doesn't Have to Go Through Probate?

Many items may not have to go through probate if they are titled jointly owned property or name a specific such as an insurance policy. It is very important to determine how you hold title to your estate property before proceeding with a court probate.

What Happens If There Is No Will?

Without a will the process becomes much more complicated. In this case, it is up to the court to determine how the estate is distributed to the next of kin.

What To Do If You Need Probate

Probate can be a complicated process. We've mentioned estate planning can make the process much easier, so we highly recommend creating one as soon as possible. Even if you don't have an estate plan, Mark Brynteson will help you every step of the way in preparing one. Estate planning is one of his featured practice areas.

Client Testimonials

I have known Mr. Brynteson for many years. I first met him in a social setting at a men's prayer group, then later had the privilege to use him professionally on several occasions. Mr. Brynteson has set up two non-profit corporations that I am a part of in record time. His competence, speed of action and knowledge in the area was astounding! I believe that Mr. Brynteson has the integrity that he would not take on any case in which he feels he could not do an exceptional job for his client. I certainly could recommend this gentlemen and am privileged to publicly give him a 5 star rating.

— Dr. Jacob Caraotta

When I finally called Mark Brynteson after being mired in a nasty situation for several months, Mark immediately took charge and directed every reponse on my part. He explained the problems clearly from a legal standpoint and also provided options when they were available. One day when I was quite sick and flat on my back, Mark called to follow up on a problem. When he finished, he said, "Today I'm not on the clock". Under the circumstances, that consideration was highly appreciated.

— Len Salvig
