Assisting with Probate and Estate Administration in Bethesda, Chevy Chase and Washington DC

When a loved one dies, his or her assets do not automatically transfer to the children or other heirs. The estate must be probated, or it must go through the probate court, to legally transfer assets and real estate property to the designated beneficiaries.
