Planning to sell land in Arkansas? Title work is easier to address now than under a contract deadline.

Sellers are often surprised by what a title search produces, particularly on property that has been in a family for generations. An unreleased lien, a deed that was never recorded, or a sibling or cousin holding an undivided interest can delay a closing or reduce what a buyer is prepared to pay.

If you have run into a title issue, contact us at (501)599-8959 to discuss your options.

If you have administered an estate, you have seen the process from the inside. You know which documents were missing, which questions took months to resolve, and how much of the work fell to one person.

That experience is the strongest argument for putting your own plan in place. A will, and in some circumstances a trust, lets you name who will serve, clarify how assets should pass, and spare your family the parts you had to work through yourself.

We prepare wills and trusts and would be happy to discuss the best fit for you.

A title problem does not have to end a transaction. Most defects we encounter in Arkansas are correctable, provided they are identified before closing rather than during it.

Common issues include:

▪️Heirs never accounted for in a prior transfer
▪️Old liens or mortgages paid but never released
▪️Legal descriptions that conflict with adjoining parcels
▪️Deeds missing a signature, a notarization, or a spousal release
▪️Breaks in the chain of title going back decades

Lenders, realtors, and closing agents are welcome to bring these to us early rather than at the closing table.

Seeing a loved one's name in the newspaper can come as a surprise during probate. It is a normal part of the process, and in most cases Arkansas law requires it.

When a personal representative is appointed, notice must be published so that creditors and other interested parties learn the estate has been opened. The notice identifies the decedent, gives the date of death, and starts the six (6) month period during which claims against the estate must be filed.

Not all probate cases are alike, and wrongful death probate in Arkansas is its own discipline.

A wrongful death recovery does not simply pass to the family. An estate generally must be opened, a personal representative appointed, and Arkansas heirship rules applied to determine who is entitled to the proceeds. Creditor claims add another layer, because Arkansas law bars most claims against an estate unless they are filed within six months of the first publication of notice to creditors, and that period affects how and when a settlement can be distributed. Add wrongful death to the mix an inexperienced individual can overlook receiving additional creditor protections.

For personal injury firms, sequence matters. Involving probate counsel before filing is an important step.

Bring us in before you file at (501)599-8959.
