Coeur d’Alene Estate And Probate Lawyer
Estate Planning Services
We strongly encourage clients to think ahead and begin planning for the future by creating a comprehensive estate plan. Our firm can assist with all aspects of the process, including composing detailed wills, designating powers of attorney and crafting descriptive healthcare directives that can communicate your wishes in the event that you cannot.
The Probate Process
Probate is the process through which the property and assets of a decedent’s estate are transferred to the appropriate heirs and beneficiaries. If the person died having a will (called “testate”), the probating of the will moves forward according to the decedent’s wishes as detailed in the will. If there was no will (called “intestate”), then the laws of intestate succession apply and the estate distribution is handled by the courts.
Estates assets and property are not just distributed through probate. It is through the probate process that valid debts, including taxes that are owed, are paid from by the estate. Though it may be the last thing that you want to deal with, the estate must be handled and issues addressed as soon as possible.
Complex Estate Representation
In the case of large, complex, high-dollar estates, there may be a great deal of fighting that occurs, not only between beneficiaries but also other parties, such as creditors or individuals who believe they have some stake in the estate. Our firm can handle even the most complex estate litigation matters when challenges arise to the estate.

Testimonial
After a very long drawn out four year probate of my father’s estate, upon recommendation of a friend, I finally called Michael Hague to see if he could help. Mike made it easier than I had ever imagined it could be. He has a calm demeanor which was so comforting to me in my time of frustration. I brought in my documents and within a few months he had the whole probate completed; all I had to do was let him know what I wanted to see happen and attend one simple meeting. Legal issues are stressful and I know without his help, I would still be battling that probate. With wisdom, confidence and a great knowledge of the law, you can depend on Mike to get the results you need.
