Understanding the Probate of an Estate
Probating an estate involves determining if the decedent left a will, filing an application to initiate probate, and appointing a personal representative. The representative notifies heirs and creditors, inventories assets, pays debts and taxes, and distributes the remaining estate to heirs or devisees. Finally, the estate is closed through court approval of the administration and distribution process Each of these stages requires careful attention to details and adherence to state laws.

Guardianships to Protect Loved Ones
Guardianships are legal arrangements where courts appoint qualified individuals to care for incapacitated persons. Guardians assume the powers and responsibilities of a parent regarding the ward's support, care, education, health and welfare, and must act in the ward's best interest with reasonable care, diligence and prudence. We are dedicated to providing you with the support and guidance you need to ensure the best outcomes for your loved ones.

The Importance of Conservatorships
A conservatorship is a legal arrangement where a court appoints a conservator to manage the financial affairs or property of a protected person who is unable to do so due to disability, minority, or other reasons. The conservator acts as a fiduciary, adhering to high standards of care, and must file plans and accounts with the court. Conservatorships can be limited or general, depending on the needs of the protected person. Machado Law Group can help you advocate effectively for your loved ones, help promote accountability, and foster independence through obtaining a conservatorship.
