What Is Probate?

When an individual passes away, their last will and testament must be proven valid and executed according to the instructions listed in the will, including who will inherit the assets and other specific instructions listed in the will. This is known as the probate process.

Probate Process in Arkansas

If you are appointed the executor of an estate, you are in charge of handling the probate process, which requires:

  • Taking inventory of the assets and debts of the estate
  • Paying off debts and taxes
  • Distributing the estate to beneficiaries according to the will's instructions

In some cases, there may be disputes that arise during the probate process, such as if family members dispute the validity of the will or if they want to dispute their share of the estate. It is a good idea to hire a Fayetteville attorney who can help resolve any conflicts that may occur during the process.

    "They made this whole legal process simple and easy to understand. Their staff was awesome and very friendly."
    They are great lawyers that really care about helping you. I went and saw them for a couple of matters that I was having trouble with and they helped me out in a very professional manner. They made this whole legal process simple and easy to understand. Their staff was awesome and very friendly. Overall I would definitely recommend them to my friends.
    "I can't thank them enough for helping my family and I get through the tough times we went through."
    They were very helpful and extremely nice. I can't thank them enough for helping my family and I get through the tough times we went through. The staff was very welcoming and understanding, I really recommend their help if anyone is looking for good lawyers!
    "This was my first and only time to file for bankruptcy so I was completely unsure of the process and frankly, I was a little scared. When all was said and done, it was not so scary."
    They made a very unpleasant experience not so unpleasant. They kept me informed and weren't condescending if I didn't respond in a timely manner do to circumstances beyond my control, and it was over before I thought it would be. At age 56 this was my first and only time to file for bankruptcy so I was completely unsure of the process and frankly, I was a little scared. When all was said and done, it was not so scary.
    "Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness"

    I went to Stephen Fisher at Martin Attorneys, PA with a difficult situation in which I was trying to make an ex-spouse rise to a level of either upholding his commitments of our divorce decree in regards to our children or move on and stop causing emotional damage etc.

    Mr. Fisher was extremely compassionate and also very resourceful in helping us all come to the table to find a solution that, while still in the trial period, allows an environment for both parents to flourish and to be given every reason and opportunity to believe that all efforts have been made on both sides of the table to provide the best outcome for those most vulnerable and important – our kids.

    I will definitely seek Mr. Fisher’s legal advice for matters in the future and refer friend’s family and strangers to him and his office. 5 Stars all the way!

    "They treated us as family and were open/forthcoming within every step of the process."
    They are wonderful! We adopted our granddaughter with the help of this firm. They treated us as family and were open/forthcoming within every step of the process. Thank you for your kindness and assistance. We will use you again in the future.
    "Shea was the first attorney to listen to me thoroughly, take me seriously, show compassion, and speak honestly with me about my case."
    I am so thankful that attorneys like Shea Crosby exist! Admittedly, I didn't know what I needed or wanted prior to my initial consultation with Shea. I had met or spoke with several other lawyers before meeting her. Each and every time I left feeling defeated, insignificant, or like a dollar sign. Shea was the first attorney to listen to me thoroughly, take me seriously, show compassion, and speak honestly with me about my case. Her level of professionalism continued throughout the entirety of my case, which lasted just shy of ten months. Shea was always easily accessible through text, email, and phone calls. She fought for me, and my family, and she believed in me, even at times when others didn't. At the end of the day, Shea helped me negotiate an agreement which provided me and my family the relief and protections we NEEDED, and WANTED. I am so very grateful for her. It's not often one is sad when their legal proceedings have ended (when they've "won"). But that is exactly how I felt. Shea was my advisor, advocate, and by time it was over, I also considered her a friend. Her real world experience made her not only relatable, but often times my confidant. I highly recommend Shea Crosby to anyone needing a family law attorney.
    "They handled the business at hand and kept me informed along the way. Highly highly recommended to anyone."
    This office was beyond friendly, extremely diligent, and most importantly kind. They did not nickel and dime me to death. They handled the business at hand and kept me informed along the way. Highly highly recommended to anyone they have so many areas of expertise.
    "Because of him and the other attorneys, she won her case! I would recommend them to everyone I know."
    Martin Attorneys has helped me with several cases--medical malpractice and estate planning. And just recently Stephen Fisher helped my granddaughter with a very tough case. Because of him and the other attorneys, she won her case! I would recommend them to everyone I know.
