Probate & Estate Administration Attorney in Littleton, CO
Helping Families Navigate Probate & Estate Matters With Confidence
When a loved one passes away, their estate must be properly managed, distributed, and legally settled. Whether or not they had a will, this process—known as probate and estate administration—can be complex and time-consuming. At Hubert T. Morrow Associates, we help families in Littleton, Englewood, Highlands Ranch, Aurora, and across Arapahoe and Douglas Counties handle probate efficiently, ensuring assets are distributed according to the law while minimizing stress and complications.
What Is Probate & When Is It Required?
Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person's estate, which includes:
- Identifying assets and ensuring they are properly accounted for
- Paying outstanding debts and taxes
- Distributing remaining assets to heirs based on a will or Colorado intestacy laws (if no will exists)
Probate is generally required when:
- The deceased person owned assets solely in their name (not jointly held)
- There was no will, or the will is being contested
- The estate is
large or complex, involving multiple beneficiaries or creditors
If your loved one's estate is subject to probate, our firm can guide you through the process, handling court filings, asset distribution, and legal disputes to ensure everything is settled properly.
Estate Administration Without Probate
Not all estates require probate. If the deceased person had assets structured to avoid probate (such as assets in a trust or designated beneficiaries), their estate may go through a simpler estate administration process.
We assist with:
Non-probate transfers,
including
joint accounts, payable-on-death accounts, and beneficiary designations
Trust administration, ensuring trustees fulfill their legal obligations
Simplified estate procedures
for small estates under Colorado law
Even if probate isn't required, estate administration involves
legal responsibilities, asset management, and tax considerations. Our firm ensures that these matters are handled efficiently and correctly.
