Explore the Advantages of Working With Our Certified Probate Attorney

Probate is the legal term for wrapping up the estate of the deceased, which includes appointing executors who be responsible for ensuring that debts, tax obligations, and finances are paid or distributed to the correct recipients. While the time the estate is in probate is determined at the state level, with proper planning and the help of trusted legal advice and counsel, you can minimize this time, which will aid in your family receiving the funds they need upon your death. 


Attorney McCready’s knowledge in this area allows her to help families across Buffalo, Orchard Park, Lancaster, East Aurora, West Seneca, Hamburg, Boston, Marilla, Clarence, and Olean, NY to navigate this process as an experienced probate attorney. Providing compassionate counsel and sound legal advice, our wills and probate attorney will support you and ensure that your final wishes are respected and carried out.   


One way to achieve this is with the writing of a will. Wills are important legal documents in that allow you to decide how to distribute your property, name beneficiaries, and determine the guardianship of children. Having an attorney who is familiar with wills and probate is one way to ensure that your final wishes are respected and carried out. Attorney McCready works with her clients to ensure that their assets are protected, relieving unnecessary burden on their loved ones. Without a will in place, property will be distributed to relatives according to the laws for your state, a process that may take months or years if other factors complicate the estate.
