MEDIATION
The attorneys of Borseth Law Office provide neutral mediation services to resolve disputes. Mediation is required in many family law matters prior to court intervention. Mediation is a dispute
resolution approach wherein the mediator meets with each party to the dispute, and his or her attorney, in an effort to allow the parties to resolve the dispute on their own terms.
ESTATE PLANNING & PROBATE
Probate is the process of administering an estate through the court. All wills are prepared with Probate in mind. They are the directions to the court as to how the estate will be distributed to the heirs. Probate includes filing a petition with court, appointing the executor/administrator, filing reports of all assets and debts, making sure all bills are paid, filing tax returns and distributing the assets.
The probate process will take anywhere from 8 months with an easy to administer will to 18 months or more for a difficult to administer estate. The executor/administrator will hire an attorney to file the reports with the court and run the case through the court system, but the executor does all the work to account for the estate, pay the bills and liquidate the assets for distribution.
