| Practice:Probate
With or without a Last Will and Testament, an estate will need to go through probate in Maryland if it exceeds a value of $50,000. It is important to note that only assets that are solely held in the decedent’s name will go through probate, and that assets in a trust or trusts will be protected from probate. As such, the value of the estate should be calculated based off assets or property solely owned by the decedent.
Probate is a process wherein assets are gathered, creditors and estate taxes are paid, and remaining property is distributed in accordance with a will (or, if there is no will, under the State of Maryland’s laws of intestacy). Probate can be complex, and it happens at a time when a family is already grieving the loss of a loved one. Having a competent Prince George’s County probate lawyer to protect your interests and guide you through can make all the difference.
Estate Planning
A carefully thought out estate plan provides valuable protections for your assets and loved ones. If you are interested in working with an estate planning attorney who will take the time to understand your unique situation, you have come to the right place. From our Upper Marlboro offices, Francois Legal Group, LLC provides skilled estate guidance to individuals of all ages, health situations, and walks of life.
Personal Injury
Sometimes the only guarantee in life is that it is unexpected. We plan for the future and we try to protect ourselves and our loved ones from harm, but we can fall prey to the carelessness and wrongdoing of others. When accidents occur, we can take legal action against the at-fault party and pursue financial compensation for our injuries, expenses, and losses, but this is easier said than done.
You need a competent Prince George’s County personal injury attorney to protect your interests if you or someone you love has suffered a serious injury. Dealing with the insurance company can be complicated, to say the least. They are likely to offer a low settlement or may even delay or deny payment. You need a lawyer who knows how to put the right amount of pressure on the insurance provider and at-fault party so you can get the financial support you need to move on with your life. |
