Phoenix Business Probate Lawyer

In probate, estates holding ownership interests in businesses or professional practices can present delicate situations. Sometimes a special administrator needs to be appointed on an emergency basis to manage the business and preserve it as an asset for the estate. A skilled Phoenix business probate attorney can make a great difference in the events that unfold following the death of a business owner.

Probate and Sole Proprietorships

When the owner of a sole proprietorship dies, there is often a critical need to manage the business right away, handling employee concerns about getting paid and preventing theft of inventory and other assets. In such situations, I provide sound legal advice to the estate’s personal representative about how to deal with the various business issues to be considered while effectively handling the probate administration.

Business Partnerships in Probate

Surviving partners typically don’t communicate with a deceased partner’s wife or children, or with a special representative of a business-related estate. It is wise to have an experienced attorney’s help in dealing with such issues as outstanding loans, assets, and breach of fiduciary duty that may lower value of the business later.
