Las Vegas Probate Attorney
Harriet Roland served as law clerk for the Denver, Colorado Probate Court before opening her Nevada firm, and is experienced and knowledgeable with both the sides of the legal process -- the court's side, and the client's side. She holds an accounting degree and M.B.A. in taxation as well as a law degree. This advanced training gives her the skills necessary to provide any required accountings estate tax returns, and to advise beneficiaries on the tax implications of their inheritances. At the Law Office of Harriet H. Roland, P.C., we are skilled in assisting personal representatives with the estate administration.
Probate is the court-supervised process of winding up the affairs of the decedent, and paying the necessary taxes, administrative expenses, and creditor claims, and then transferring assets to the rightful heirs and beneficiaries. Assets that do not pass by title or operation of law are subject to the probate process. We can assist you throughout the probate process to protect the personal representative or trustee from personal liability, and ensure that distribution and administration of the estate is in compliance with the deceased person's will or trust and in accordance with the law.
It is very difficult to handle the complexities of probate and trust law without the assistance of a skilled attorney. Contact us to represent you through the probate process, to ensure your rights under a Will, or to protect the decedent's estate against creditors or other liability.
Probate litigation, will contests, and inheritance disputes
We are also experienced in representing beneficiaries seeking to challenge a will or the distribution of assets. Sometimes court supervision of an estate is desirable, even if not technically necessary. In situations where a family battle is brewing, or an heir or creditor is disagreeing with the amount due, a court order will protect the executor from personal liability. Contact us for representation in an inheritance dispute.
We are experienced in working with the terminally ill, elderly, and incapacitated and will make house calls when necessary. Contact us today to speak with an experienced Las Vegas attorney regarding your legal issue.
