Estate Administration and Probate

The law office of Glenn A. Deig handles all aspects of probate and estate administration.

Probate is the legal process by which a person's will is allowed by the Probate Court.  The provisions of the will dictate how the person's debts are to be paid as well as how assets are distributed upon death.

Estate administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the deceased's assets, such as life insurance, annuities, qualified plans and trust assets.  The process also ensures compliance with applicable estate tax requirements.

Glenn A. Deig, Certified Elder Law Attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation, and his experienced staff will assist the personal representative of the estate in the gathering, valuation, accounting and distribution of the decedent's assets.  We prepare Indiana inheritance tax returns as well as the appropriate documents in order to release liens on a decedent's real estate.

It is our responsibility to assure that all steps are properly taken in order to carry out the decedent's intent in accordance with the law.

Glenn A. Deig
has been certified by the Estate Planning and Administration Specialty Certification Board of the Indiana State Bar Association to be an Estate Administration and Probate Specialist.
