Lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona

Probate and Estate Administration ◊ 30 Years of Experience

If you have been named as executor, administrator or personal representative of an estate, or if you are an heir with concerns about the distribution of assets from the estate of a loved one, you want an experienced attorney to protect your interests. The probate process can be complex and time-consuming; without the assistance of a skilled and knowledgeable attorney, you can incur additional expense and time in settling the estate.

At the law office of attorney Joseph F. Causey, I have 30 years of experience representing individuals and families in matters related to the settlement of an estate. I place a high priority on personal service and trustworthiness; I will do everything within my power to earn and keep your trust. I believe that effective legal representation involves a substantial amount of contact and communication between lawyer and clients. Because of my commitment to accessible and affordable representation, many of my new clients come to me as referrals.

My Probate and Estate Administration Practice

I represent executors, administrators, personal representatives and heirs, helping you complete the steps necessary to successfully administer and settle the estate of a loved one. I will help you through the court administration process, compile and submit an inventory/accounting of the assets of the estate, assist with the settlement of all final debts and taxes of the deceased, and oversee the orderly distribution of property according to the terms to the decedant's estate plan and the laws of the state of Arizona. I represent clients in formal, as well as informal, probate proceedings, and assist them in summary-type probate proceedings for real property matters and the collection of personal property without the need for probate. 

I handle ancillary probate administration for individuals whose loved ones died in another state, but left property in Arizona. I will handle all filings in the Arizona courts to protect your interests and will act as your advocate in all scheduled hearings or proceedings.

I also represent individuals in probate litigation, including will contests or actions involving allegations of breach of fiduciary duty.
