Resolution done right.
Probate
Caring representation through the legal process.
If your loved one had no estate plan or will, their estate may have to go through Colorado's probate process. Probate is a court-supervised process that determines the transfer of property after a person's death. The management of an estate will be examined by the court to determine asset distribution. While some property can transfer automatically upon death to another party, it is paramount to have a legal advocate on your side. This process can be complex and take months to complete.

Managing the executor's or trustee's legal responsibilities
Preparing and filing documents for the probate court
Locating the will, trust and insurance policies
Coordinating retirement accounts and Social Security needs
