When a loved one passes, they frequently leave behind assets such as real or personal property.  Unfortunately—and far too many times—a will is not made, leaving the surviving family at odds over the deceased's assets.  The law firm of Tommy R. Scarborough, LLC offers experienced legal assistance in drafting wills, administering estates, establishing guardianships and conservatorships, and other legal actions necessary to ensure the intended distribution of your assets.

What legal protection do you need?

The Alabama probate process

Once a loved one has passed away, the estate of the deceased goes into probate: a court-supervised process that administers an estate with or without a will.  Dothan Probate attorney, Tommy R. Scarborough, has extensive experience with probating wills, helping you through the confusing maze of paperwork, public notices, court hearings, and family encounters to guarantee that you receive a fair share of the loved one's assets. 

Alabama guardianships and conservatorships

When a loved one is unable to manage their personal affairs or properly care for themselves, a legal and personal representative is nominated and appointed by the court to properly care for the disabled person.  Dothan attorney Tommy R. Scarborough effectively navigates you through the complex world of probate law to ensure the safety of a loved one and their assets through a guardianship and conservatorship if and when the need arises.
