The Law Offices of Terrence McGrath based in Crofton, MD provides a wide array of Probate Services. As an experienced and longstanding member of the Maryland legal community, I take seriously my role to counsel clients as they make consequential decisions about property and asset distribution, supervision of the finances of minors and managing any creditor action. Clients rely on me to be there for them and their heirs and family members when it’s time for the estate plan to be carried out.

I work with those named as personal representatives to carry out their role which can include:

• Notifying heirs
• Paying estate debts
• Paying estate taxes if applicable
• Selling property
• Distributing property and assets
• Managing the final affairs of the decedent’s estate

CAN PROBATE BE AVOIDED?

Many clients are concerned about helping their heirs to avoid costs and time associated with the probate process. In many situations the best vehicle for doing so is to establish a trust. Probate fees are based on the size of the estate — the larger the estate, the larger the fees. Clients can bypass these costs by creating a trust. With extensive depth and experience in the estate planning process, I work with clients to discuss their specific situation and advise them about effective options they have to avoid probate.

IS THE WILL VALID?

There are sometimes situations where the validity of a client’s will can come into question, causing problems and disputes. I work with my clients to create estate planning documents that stand up in court and provide family and heirs with minimal complications during probate.

WILL CONTESTS OR TRUST DISPUTES?

I regularly support Maryland clients who need guidance with analyzing original documents, and taking into account the decedent’s wishes.
