First, if you are reviewing this product, you have our deepest sympathies for your loss. 

 

This package allows you to probate an uncontested will (where no one is disputing the will).  Probating an uncontested will involves submitting the will to the court and obtaining a court order that confirms the validity of the will and appoints an executor to administer the estate. This process can be relatively simple and straightforward if there are no disputes or challenges to the will (the deceased left a valid, self-proven will, there are no disputes among heirs, and the estate is solvent). Our experienced attorneys can guide you through the process and ensure that all legal requirements are met, making the probate process as easy as possible for you.
