Managing a loved one’s estate can be emotionally and legally challenging. Steven B. Ward, Attorney at Law offers clear, compassionate legal support through every step of the probate process, so you can focus on what matters most.
ESTATE MANAGEMENT
We guide executors and family members through every step of the probate process, from filing court documents to distributing assets. We ensure that your loved one’s final wishes are honored and all legal requirements are met efficiently. We also assist with handling debts, tax obligations, and the proper transfer of property titles.
ESTATE DISPUTES
Disagreements among heirs or beneficiaries can be emotionally and legally complex. We work to resolve conflicts over wills, trusts, or asset distribution with a balanced approach, through skilled negotiation or litigation when necessary. Our goal is to reach a fair and timely resolution while preserving family relationships whenever possible.
WILL CONTESTS
If you suspect a will was created under undue influence, fraud, or lack of mental capacity, we can help you challenge it in court. We provide strong legal representation to protect your rights and ensure a fair outcome.
We conduct a thorough review of evidence and offer clear guidance on your legal options.
TRUST ADMINISTRATION
Administering a trust involves important responsibilities, even outside the probate process. We assist trustees in managing trust assets, complying with fiduciary duties, and avoiding legal pitfalls.
