Probate Lawyer in Nashua NH
When someone passes away, the assets of the deceased may need to be probated through a court in order to transfer the assets out of the name of the deceased owner. Pursuant to NH RSA 552:2, within 30 days of learning of someone passing away, the holder of a will has a duty to deliver it to the executor named in the will, or file it with the probate court. When there is a will, the court will oversee the executor in charge of carrying out the instructions outlined in the will regarding such matters as the distribution of assets or naming a guardian of minor children. If there is no will, the probate court will appoint an administrator to distribute the assets pursuant to NH RSA 561:1. Both of these proceedings can be time-consuming and costly. There are times when probate can be avoided through estate planning. Contact Us Today for a Free Consultation. 603-889-7188.
