Below is a small sampling of various verdicts and settlements obtained for clients by Attorney Mark DellaValle. It is important to remember that no two cases are alike and each case must be judged on its own merits. The following results do not guarantee similar success in your case.
Dealing with the death of a loved one is difficult. Unfortunately, in addition to the emotional pain following the loss, there is the added stress of what to do with their property from a legal perspective. Attorney Mark DellaValle helps individuals in Norwalk, New Haven, Milford, Bridgeport, and all of Connecticut manage the probate process and settle the estate of their loved one.
The property the person owns upon death is known as the decedent’s estate. If the person had a will the assets will be distributed according to their wishes. If there is no will then family members will inherit the assets according to Connecticut’s intestate laws. While these laws are designed to pass property to heirs in a logical way, they rarely match the intent of the deceased individual.
The procedure to legally transfer ownership of the decedent’s property is known as probate. The probate court will appoint a fiduciary known as the executor if named in the will or an administrator if there was no will to represent the estate. To avoid this problem, many people will turn to an attorney to manager the process or assist the individual in charge of the estate. With a great deal of consideration for both the individual and their family, Norwalk probate attorney Mark DellaValle handles such matters with a high level of professionalism and courtesy.
To administer the estate certain documents must be filed with the Probate Court which include information regarding the amount of property in the estate and expenses owed by the estate. Final tax returns also need to be prepared and filed. These documents must be prepared correctly in order to avoid significant (and potentially expensive) problems that could slow down the process or result in an improperly administered estate.
