Thinking of applying to the courthouse for legal authority to handle a loved one’s estate? Jeff Austin Law can help.
We begin with a paid consultation designed to give you greater clarity and confidence moving forward. For some, this one-time meeting provides all the information they need to move ahead on their own.
Others choose to retain us for ongoing support—especially in cases where heirs disagree, the estate is complex, or they live outside North Carolina. Jeff also regularly partners with litigation attorneys who need an experienced estate administrator on their case.
When no family member is a suitable candidate to apply for estate authority, Jeff Austin Law may be able to serve in that role. In Durham County, Jeff frequently acts as the appointed public administrator.
