Phillips Ballenger Estate Planning Attorneys

First of all- thank you for taking the time to learn about our law firm, Phillips Ballenger. You’ll soon see that we are not your “average” law firm. Chris & Tiffany decided to start their own practice because they are of the belief that the traditional law firm is a somewhat broken model and we strive to do things a bit differently here.

Our Probate Process

When dealing with the unfortunate loss of a loved one, family members are often faced with the daunting task of locating and deciding what to do with deceased person’s (often referred to as a the “decedent”) estate and property. There is a lot of work to be done and the associated tasks may seem incredibly daunting, especially when dealing with the emotional pain of the loss. The difficulties may be magnified if your loved one’s estate is subject to the probate process.
