Comprehensive Probate and Estate Administration

Losing a family member is an emotionally difficult experience, and managing their final affairs can feel overwhelming. Preston Law Office specializes in guiding executors and administrators through the step-by-step process of administering estates under Alabama law, helping you resolve complex estate claims with confidence.

Probate of Wills and Estate Administration

The sole legal purpose of drafting a will is to one day have it probated. Attorney Keith Preston prepares all necessary court petitions, coordinates the notification of heirs, resolves outstanding creditor claims, and handles the formal distribution of assets. If a loved one passed away without a will, the firm represents administrators in intestate proceedings, ensuring that assets are distributed fairly and in accordance with Alabama statutes.

Estate Planning, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney

Proactive planning is the most effective way to protect your legacy and shield your heirs from costly court interventions. Preston Law Office creates customized estate plans, including last wills and testaments, revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, and living wills. Additionally, the firm counsels everyone on the critical importance of durable powers of attorney, which provide trusted individuals with immediate authority to manage financial and healthcare decisions if you ever experience a debilitating medical event.

Quiet Title, Heir Property, and Real Estate Law

Resolving property ownership issues is another core specialty of the firm. Clear property titles can easily become clouded when estates are left unprobated over generations or when real estate is purchased through a public tax sale, creating multiple competing heirs and legal challenges.

Quiet Title Actions and Tax Sale Property

If you purchased property at a tax sale, you cannot easily sell, finance, or secure title insurance without resolving potential title clouds. Preston Law Office represents investors and land owners in quiet title actions, legally resolving competing claims and clearing the title for future transactions. Furthermore, they help families protect and partition heir property, preventing the forced loss of historically owned family lands.
