Probate
Guiding You Through the Legal Process After a Loved One’s Passing
Losing a loved one is hard enough without the added burden of navigating probate. At Monument Estate Planning, we help families in Colorado manage the probate process with compassion and expertise. Probate is the legal procedure of validating a will and administering an estate after death. It often involves court oversight, identifying assets, paying debts, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. Our goal is to simplify this process, reduce the stress on your family, and ensure everything is handled smoothly and efficiently.
