When a loved one passes, their estate may need to go through probate. We can help you determine the best course of action, whether that means:
• Petition to Probate Will in Solemn Form
• Petition for Letters of Administration
• Petition for No Administration Necessary

Ed always takes time to know his clients and to listen to their questions.
Mr. Stalnaker is an exceptional lawyer. I have consulted him on personal matters and advise related to my volunteer management duties with not-for- profit organizations for over twenty years. He is very knowledgeable, thorough, and serves the best interest of his clients.
