Probate Attorney

Elaine is valued for clear communication, consistent follow‑through, and meticulous file management. Families appreciate that she explains what to expect, identifies the documents and information needed up front, and keeps the process moving in an organized, step‑by‑step way so there are fewer surprises at each stage of the case.

In her probate work, Elaine assists with the full life cycle of estate administration, from preparing and filing the initial probate pleadings and requesting the appointment of a personal representative, to managing court notices, deadlines, and required probate documentation.

She helps families identify and organize estate assets, including bank accounts, investment and retirement accounts, and other property that must be properly documented for the court and for distribution. When creditor issues arise, Elaine guides clients through the claim procedures and works to resolve matters efficiently and appropriately.

She also coordinates valuations, inventories, and supporting documentation needed for administration, and then oversees the final steps—distributions and closing filings—so the estate can be concluded in a clear and compliant manner.
