Experienced in the Probate Process

There are generally two types of probate lawyers: transactional probate attorneys who handle the administrative aspect of probates, and probate litigators who represent clients involved in probate lawsuits.

If your family member has passed away and you simply want to begin the probate process, a transactional probate lawyer can guide you through the process. On the flip side, if you want to challenge the will or are unhappy with the way the executor or the current lawyer is handling probate, a probate litigator can help. Our Urbana probate attorneys can handle various matters related to probate.
