| After my father passed there was a lengthy probate process, as well as a complicated task of dealing with his personal affairs. This site is intended to be a resource where people can provide personal experience and knowledge to help others that are going through a similar ordeal. | When my dad passed away I didn’t know where to start. He owned a house, ran his own business, and had a checking account that I was now responsible for. In addition to that there were monthly bills coming to the house, and an open loan that he was still in the process of paying off. |

| The stress and confusion of dealing with these items only compounded on the shock and grief that are to be expected when dealing with the death of a parent. | My dad didn't have a will or trust, so I also embarked on the lengthy process of going through probate while also figuring out how to manage his personal affairs. |

| From initial research I determined that my first priority was to find out if he had a will or a trust, as this would provide me with valuable legal authority to begin managing items on behalf of his estate. I spent hours looking through files and realized that he unfortunately had neither. | This site was created with the goal of gathering knowledge and wisdom from those that have gone through a similar situation in an effort to help others manage the process of dealing with the loss of a loved one. |

| Ultimately I was connected to an estate attorney who I worked with to navigate the many legal complications involved with taking over responsibility for my dad’s estate. | |
