Losing someone you love is one of life’s hardest moments. Adding the stress of handling their estate can feel overwhelming.
We walk beside you during this difficult time, offering guidance and support to ease the legal burdens of probate and estate administration.
Probate is the court-supervised process of settling a loved one’s estate after they pass away. This includes validating their will, resolving debts, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. It’s meant to ensure everything is handled fairly and according to your loved one’s wishes.
But for many families, probate can feel overwhelming. It often involves managing paperwork, meeting court deadlines, and addressing disputes, all while navigating the emotions of loss.
At Montana Elder Law, we’re here to guide you through each step, so you can focus on honoring your loved one instead of worrying about the legal process.

Every estate tells a story, and probate is about carefully closing the chapter.
Here’s what the process looks like:
This step officially opens the probate process, validating the will and appointing an executor to guide the estate.
All family members and creditors must be informed, ensuring transparency and fairness.
The estate is used to pay off any debts and settle taxes, clearing the path for asset distribution.
Finally, the remaining property is transferred to the rightful beneficiaries, fulfilling your loved one’s wishes.
When a loved one passes away and leaves a trust, the trust administration process ensures their wishes are carried out properly. Unlike probate, trust administration happens outside of the court system, offering privacy and efficiency.
As a trustee, you may be responsible for tasks like managing assets, notifying beneficiaries, filing taxes, and distributing property according to the trust’s terms. These responsibilities can feel overwhelming, especially during an emotional time.
We provide step-by-step guidance to trustees, ensuring the process is handled smoothly and in compliance with Montana law.
Whether you’re navigating trust administration for the first time or managing a complex estate, you don’t have to do it alone.
