Probate & Estate Administration

Approachable Estate Planning and Administration Lawyer

At Stehlik Law, we treat all of our southeast Nebraska clients as family. When you need  a comprehensive estate plan or someone to guide you through the probate process, we provide friendly and caring legal representation.

Planning for the Future

Contrary to the misconception that only the very wealthy need estate planning, everyone should have a basic estate plan that protects their assets, provides for their loved ones and clearly sets forth their wishes. At Stehlik Law, we understand the laws that were created to give people control over the future of their assets. Attorney L. Joe Stehlik will help you draft the documents necessary to make sure that your wishes will be followed after your passing. Depending on your situation, we may suggest a variety of estate planning tools, including:

  • Wills
  • Testamentary and living trusts
  • Revocable and irrevocable trusts
  • Charitable trusts and gifting programs
  • Durable powers of attorney, allowing others to make financial decisions on your behalf should you become incapacitated
  • Healthcare directives (sometimes called "living wills")

Let us get to know you and your family. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation today to discuss your estate planning concerns and goals.

Taking Care of the Details when a Loved One Passes Away

There are many things to deal with when a loved one dies. On top of the raw emotion involved in the grieving process, there are decisions to be made about funeral arrangements, the division of beloved property and internment. At Stehlik Law, we will handle the legal aspects of probate and estate administration so that you can focus on more important things. We have handled hundreds of estates, providing compassionate, comprehensive representation for every client.

Our services include getting the will admitted to probate, making sure an administrator is properly appointed, paying estate debts, distributing assets and filing estate taxes. If a will is ultimately contested, we work hard to establish the will's validity and enforce your loved one's final wishes.

Although it may be uncomfortable to think of, proper estate planning and probate administration will serve you in the future. We work hard to make the probate process as painless as possible for you and your family. We genuinely feel that a successful probate begins with good estate planning.
