Probate Law
Kissinger & Fellman recognizes that part of the estate planning
work done for clients may ultimately lead to having to probate a
client's estate upon his or her death. Probate is the process in
which the terms of a person's will are carried out by the Personal
Representative (Executor). In Colorado, this is a relatively straightforward
process involving lodging the Will with the court in the appropriate
county, having a Personal Representative appointed, filing the required
documents with the court and having the assets distributed by the
Personal Representative.
Our Firm's role is to help the Personal Representative through
the probate process. Many times, the Personal Representative is
a family member of the person who just passed away, so we take the
burden away from the Personal Representative and ensure that all
the necessary court filings are done. Additionally, although we
are acting as attorneys during this process, Kissinger & Fellman
recognizes the need to listen to and counsel family members through
this difficult time.
