Understanding Virginia wills and estates law

The last thing on your mind when a loved one dies is having that person's will probated. Probate is the process of filing and validating the decedent's will in court, paying off any debts or taxes that person owed, and dividing his or her assets according to Virginia law. Irving & Irving can guide you through the process, step-by-step, so you can focus on your healing and not legalities.

If your loved one died intestate, that is, without a will, his or her assets will be divided among the immediate members of your family. If you wish to contest the will, we can handle that for you.

Other planning tools must also be administered through the probate process.
