Probate

Losing a loved one is tough as it is, but having to navigate the court system makes it even tougher. Washington State probate is relatively easy to navigate, if you know what you are doing. The first step is finding out if you even need probate. Click here to learn more.

TESTIMONIALS

CMS helped my husband and I with our will and power of attorney. Chris and his staff are super personable and easy to work with. Chris is not your stereotypical attorney. He is not intimidating in any way. All of our questions or concerns were addressed in a way that we could understand and relate. I would recommend any of my family or friends to CMS!

Great team! Quick to follow up on questions with answers I could actually understand. The whole process of creating a will can be overwhelming but Chris and his team made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in good hands.

Chris and his team were professional, easy to work with, and took the guess work out of creating an advanced care plan and estate plan. Thanks CMS!
