What to Expect During Probate

Probate is the legal process of settling a person’s estate after death — identifying assets, paying debts, and distributing property to heirs.


It can be time-consuming and complex, especially for executors managing administrative tasks while balancing family and financial considerations.

Our team helps clients navigate:

  • Filing and administration of probate estates

  • Addressing creditor claims and outstanding debts

  • Managing tax filings and compliance

  • Resolving will contests or disputes among heirs

  • Coordinating with financial professionals

  • Distributing property according to the will or Wisconsin law

Depending on the size and complexity of the estate, probate can take anywhere from several months to multiple years. With Centurion’s guidance, you can move through each phase confidently and efficiently.
