Attorney Joseph P. Secola is a retired Connecticut Probate Judge familiar with the entire probate court process. Probate is the legal process of administering an estate after someone dies.  In this way, your property passes directly to your beneficiaries.  Probate includes:

• Proving in court that a deceased person’s will is valid
• Identifying and inventorying the deceased person’s property
• Appraising the property
• Paying debts and taxes
• Distributing property according to the deceased person’s will, if one exists
• Transferring title and ownership of assets to the proper beneficiaries
• Challenging Excessive Fiduciary Fees
  

Distribution and transfer of assets according to a will or a trust must be handled with care to avoid impairing the rights and interests of the beneficiaries. For more than 25 years, Attorney Joseph P. Secola of Secola Law Offices, LLC in Brookfield, Connecticut has worked with clients and their probate needs, including probate litigation. Attorney Secola has the experience to guide you through the probate process in Connecticut or New York and can represent estate executor or beneficiary rights if a dispute arises.
