Brent provides experienced and compassionate legal counsel to guide you through probate efficiently and with as little stress as possible. Whether you’re an executor, personal representative, or concerned family member, Brent is here to help you honor your loved one’s wishes while protecting your rights and interests.
What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person's estate—validating their will (if there is one), identifying and valuing assets, paying outstanding debts and taxes, and distributing remaining property to heirs or beneficiaries. The process ensures that the decedent’s estate is handled lawfully and that assets are distributed according to the will or, if no will exists, in accordance with Arkansas intestate succession laws.
In Arkansas, probate is generally required when:
- The deceased owned property solely in their name
- There are debts to settle
- The estate includes complex or disputed assets
- A will needs to be validated in court
