Frequently Asked Questions

What is probate?

Probate is the legal process of proving that a will is valid and that the deceased person's wishes are carried out.
How can I get started planning for my estate?

To start planning your estate, you will need to draft a will, set up powers of attorney and enduring guardianship documents, and apply for probate. A legal professional can assist you with this process.
What is the difference between a will and an estate?

A will is a document that sets out your wishes for the distribution of your assets after you pass away. An estate is the sum total of all your assets and liabilities, including property, investments, and other assets.
What happens if I die without a will?

If you die without a will, your estate will be distributed according to intestacy laws. This can lead to a number of complications and may not reflect your wishes or the wishes of your loved ones. To avoid this situation, it's important to take the time to draft a will and plan ahead. With the help of an experienced legal professional, this process can be quick and simple.

Challenging a Will

If you believe that a will is not valid or that it does not accurately reflect the wishes of the deceased, you may have grounds to challenge it. At Silkman Austen Brown Lawyers, we assist clients in challenging wills and can advise you on the best course of action to take.
