What Is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate. It involves authenticating the will (if one exists), paying off any debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries. While this process is often straightforward, complications can arise—especially when there are disagreements about the will or how the estate should be handled.

When the loss of a loved one is compounded by legal complications, it can make an already difficult time even more overwhelming. At the Law Office of Mann & Risch, we specialize in probate law, helping individuals and families in Baltimore navigate the complexities of contested wills, inheritance disputes, and issues related to the control of estates and properties. We understand that these matters are deeply personal, and we are committed to providing sensitive, competent legal guidance to ensure your interests are protected. 

We are here to:

  • Provide clear, straightforward legal advice so you understand your rights and options
  • Negotiate effectively to resolve disputes and avoid unnecessary litigation when possible
  • Aggressively advocate for your interests in court if a fair resolution cannot be reached through negotiation
  • Ensure timely and accurate estate administration to avoid delays, penalties, and complications

At the Law Office of Mann & Risch, we offer a wide range of probate and estate litigation services, including:

Contested Wills

A will can be contested for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Claims that the will was forged or tampered with
  • Allegations that the person making the will (the testator) was under undue influence or lacked the mental capacity to make decisions
  • Concerns about the validity of the will, such as failure to follow the required legal formalities

Disputing a will is a serious matter that requires experienced legal representation. Our attorneys will carefully evaluate the situation and provide you with honest, straightforward advice about the likelihood of success. We are skilled negotiators and litigators, dedicated to resolving these conflicts in the best interest of our clients.

Inheritance Disputes

Disputes over inheritances can arise for many reasons—family disagreements, competing claims, or confusion about how assets should be divided. If you are involved in a dispute over an inheritance, we can help clarify your rights and work towards a fair resolution. Whether the dispute involves real estate, personal property, or financial accounts, we will work diligently to protect your interests.

Estate Administration and Executor Guidance

The role of an executor (or personal representative) can be challenging. Executors are responsible for managing the deceased person’s estate, ensuring that debts and taxes are paid, and that assets are distributed according to the will. Mistakes in this process can lead to legal liability or family conflict. Our team provides clear, knowledgeable guidance to executors, helping them fulfill their duties with confidence and ensuring that all legal requirements are met.

Disputes Over Property and Estate Control

Sometimes, family members or other interested parties may disagree over who should control certain assets or how they should be managed. These disputes can involve questions about the management of real estate, businesses, or other valuable assets within an estate. We have the experience and legal acumen to represent your interests, whether you are contesting or defending the control of an estate.
