Probate and Estate Administration

The Law Office of Dionna Reynolds, LLC serves the needs of Chicago area clients by providing practical strategic and legal advice on Probate and Estate Administration.

What is Probate?

Probate is a legal process and examination of a person’s estate after they die. A probate court reviews the deceased person’s assets and determines the distribution of those assets to the proper heirs.

What is Estate Administration?

Estate administration is the process of managing and distributing a person’s property (the “estate”) after death.  If the person had a will, the will goes through probate, which is the process by which the deceased person’s property is passed to his or her heirs and legatees (people named in the will). The entire process, supervised by the probate court, usually takes about a year. However, substantial distributions from the estate can be made in the interim.

Who handles Estate Administration?

The probate court supervises the estate administration process of managing and distributing a person’s assets after their death.

Client Testimonials

Atty. Dionna Reynolds and her team were extremely helpful and thorough throughout my homebuying process. They were responsive and always available whenever I had questions. My real estate transaction was clear to close in less than a month thanks to this team! I would highly recommend The Law Office of Dionna Reynolds, LLC!

Arielle Topps

Attorney Reynold’s was both personable and professional. She explained the home buying process very thoroughly and didn’t mind that we asked a lot of questions (many times we asked the same questions repeatedly ). Not only did she answer questions about her role but she provided great insight about the entire process and let us know what to expect. By understanding the process, we were able to speak more confidently working with our agent and lender. The thing I appreciated most about working with attorney Reynolds was her ability to empathize with the stress of purchasing a home. She was proactive about communication and that was very assuring to us when the lender failed to communicate appropriately. I highly recommend Attorney Reynolds for any business which requires an attorney.

Cheree Moore

Dionna Reynolds & her team were very professional. She has a lot of patience and thoroughly explains legal documents to her clients. Communication with Dionna was easy with quick responsiveness. I highly recommend her services.
