One person on the file
Leopold has settled estates for families in Madison and for heirs who live a long way from it. Most of his clients have never been through probate and want to know, plainly, what happens next.
He keeps one list per estate: what’s been done, what’s next and what he needs from you. That list is the Friday update.
When an estate holds a house, he works with the realtor and the court so it can be sold while the estate is open.
