Wills and Estates/Probate Administration
Estate planning can be so much more than end of life preparation; allow us to show you how an estate package can provide for you in your lifetime as well as establish a clear plan for the distribution of your estate at your death. Dealing with the death of a loved one is rarely pleasant. Often, it is a highly emotional time which provides ideal conditions for miscommunications between friends and family.

If the will is being contested — if there are accusations of undue influence or questions over the administration of the will — know that in James R. Barrett you have an experienced local resource to guide you.
