During difficult times, we’re here for you.

Probate & Estate Administration

Some of our services include:

  • Decedent’s probate estates

  • Small Estate Affidavits/Administration

  • POD/TOD assistance

  • Coordination of survivor’s retirement benefits/pension

  • Business succession matters

Losing a loved one is an emotional journey; the legal aftermath shouldn't be. When a person passes away—whether they left a will or died "intestate" (without one)—a probate estate may need to be opened to legally transfer their assets to the rightful beneficiaries.

Why You Need a Guide

The probate process involves collecting assets, settling debts, and navigating court requirements. Depending on the complexity of the family structure and the nature of the estate, this can become overwhelming.

At Holloman & Hood, we reduce this burden by:

  • Navigating the Courts: Providing the required legal counsel to guide executors and administrators through every filing.

  • Managing Assets: Assisting with the transition of property, including joint accounts and "payable-on-death" assets.

  • Exploring Alternatives: Determining if probate is even necessary or if more efficient alternatives are available for your specific situation.

Our goal is to provide you with the peace of mind that your loved one’s final affairs are being settled effectively, efficiently, and with the dignity they deserve.
