Handling the estate of a deceased loved one can be a difficult and time-consuming process. Documents must be found and filed with the court, heirs must be contacted, creditors identified and paid, and tax forms prepared. If you have not previously handled the process of probating an estate, it can be confusing new territory, and this confusion is only heightened by the fact that you are still reeling from the loss of your loved one. At the Law Office of Robert H. Plotkin, LLC, our experienced team helps executors and personal representatives through the process of probating an estate in Maryland or Washington, DC. We provide full-service assistance with preparing and filing court documents, locating and notifying heirs, and even selling homes or other assets. Going the Extra Mile for YouBecause of our comprehensive service, the Law Office of Robert H. Plotkin is an excellent choice for executors who are located in other states who want to minimize the time they have to spend in Maryland or the District of Columbia. Contact our office to discuss your individual probate needs. Our probate lawyers go the extra mile to assist with real estate issues and have even helped our clients fix up homes in preparation for sale in order to increase the value. In one instance, $20,000 in updates led to a $75,000 increase in the purchase price of the home. We provide a wide range of services, and will gather bids, ensure repairs and renovations are completed in a timely fashion, and then work with a realtor to get the property on the market for sale.
