05frequently asked
What people ask us most.
General answers. Every case is reviewed at the first conversation.
Does probate have to go through the courts?
Not always. When the heirs agree and the legal requirements are met, it can be done at a notary’s office, which is usually faster.
What is adverse possession?
It is a way of acquiring ownership through long-term possession, under the terms and periods set by law.
Is it worth reviewing a contract before signing?
Yes. A prior review costs far less than a lawsuit and avoids clauses that work against you.
Can I claim for moral damages?
Yes, when there is real harm and someone responsible for it. We review the case and the evidence at the first conversation.
