After a relative has passed away, the issues surrounding that person's assets and debts must be resolved.  Someone must pay the funeral bill, medical bills, all final tax liabilities and any other debts.  Additionally, the person's remaining property and assets must pass according to his or her Last Will and Testament (or according to law, if there is no Will).  This process is called probate, and our law firm handles estates of all sizes and types throughout Maryland.  The legal process of administering an estate is diffucult for most people on their own.  Mr. Stone can assist you with each stage of the process.
