Our Denver Probate Services

Our probate practice covers the full range of estate administration services, working with families to close estates efficiently and resolve any disputes along the way.

Informal Probate Administration

Informal Probate Administration

Most Colorado estates qualify for informal probate, a streamlined process supervised lightly by the court. We prepare the petition, get the personal representative appointed, and walk you through your fiduciary duties so the estate moves forward without unnecessary hearings or delays.

Personal Representative Representation

Personal Representative Representation

Serving as a personal representative carries real legal duties; to creditors, to beneficiaries, and to the court. We advise personal representatives on the documents they need to sign, explain estate administration probate requirements in plain language, and help them avoid personal liability while handling the legal work themselves.

Formal and Supervised Probate

Formal and Supervised Probate

When a will is unclear, an heir objects, or court oversight is needed, formal probate is required. We represent personal representatives and interested parties in formal proceedings across the Front Range, handling hearings, notices, and judicial determinations the court must decide.

Probate Litigation and Will Contests

Probate Litigation and Will Contests

When disputes arise, whether over the validity of a will, the actions of a personal representative, undue influence, lack of capacity, or competing claims to estate assets, we represent clients in probate litigation. We resolve matters efficiently when possible and protect our client's interests vigorously when court is unavoidable.

Intestate Estates (No Will)

Intestate Estates (No Will)

When someone passes without a will, Colorado's intestacy statutes determine who inherits. We help families navigate intestate administration, identify rightful heirs, address questions of parentage or surviving spouse rights, and transfer property in accordance with state law.

Wrongful Death and Probate Claims

Wrongful Death and Probate Claims

When an estate involves a wrongful death or personal injury claim, the probate court controls the cause of action. We open the probate case, coordinate with personal injury attorneys, and make sure any recovery is properly distributed under Colorado law.
