Losing a loved one is always difficult. When you're faced with wrapping up the affairs of a loved one who has died, you may feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the work ahead. However, with knowledgable legal assistance and practical information from your attorney, you can do it.
At Whitmore Law Office, our staff is experienced and efficient at promptly handling probate and estate matters and helping make this difficult time a little easier for the heirs, personal representative, executor or trustee whether there is a valid Will or the deceased died intestate.
We will advise you as to what is needed, prepare all papers and file them with the Douglas County, Nebraska Probate Court. If there are any challenged claims or lawsuits that need to be commenced, we can handle those as well. Our office will assist the personal representative in collecting the assets, paying bills and claims of the estate, preparing and filing the required Nebraska Inheritance Tax return, and making the final distribution according to the Will and the Nebraska Probate Code. For a discussion of the Nebraska Inheritance Tax, follow this Link: Nebraska Inheritance Tax.
If you do not live in Nebraska and cannot come to our office, Whitmore Law Office will prepare and email or mail the proper estate and administration papers to you for review and signature. Many of our clients live far from here and have loved ones who have passed away in Nebraska. We assist faraway clients in effectively handling their estate administration responsibilities, while minimizing the need for them to be present in our state.
We are also available to handle ancillary probate throughout Nebraska.
