Navigate Estate Administration with ease

You're not alone if you’re confused and overwhelmed about where/how to start with estate administration (probate). The process can be unclear even if the deceased left a Will. 

Our firm has years of experience assisting Executors, Administrators, Collectors, and Personal Representatives in many North Carolina counties, including Durham, Orange, Wake, Chatham, Alamance, Lee, Pender, and New Hanover with undisputed estates. Many of our clients hire us to manage the entire probate process, from initial filings to closing the case (and all the steps and tasks along the way). Some of our clients hire us to assist in more limited ways.

My parents passed away within months of each other. Heather was super responsive, proactive and knowledgeable when I needed help with their estates. It was such a relief to know that she was there if I had questions or worries and she was so reliable that I didn’t have to chase or ask for updates. On top of that, she was compassionate and clear about when I could take things at my own pace and when things were hard deadlines. I recommend Ampersand Law without reservation.
