01 — Probate Law

Guiding Orono families through Maine probate.

Orono's long-tenured faculty and retirees often have estates that include retirement accounts, rental property near campus, and homes held for decades. We probate Orono estates in the Penobscot County Probate Court in Bangor and help Personal Representatives handle each type of asset correctly — including rental units that need to be managed or sold while the estate is open.

We also help Orono residents put a plan in place ahead of time — a will, durable power of attorney, and advance health care directive — so that your wishes, not Maine's intestacy laws, decide how your estate is handled.

Real Estate Law and Titles in Orono

Orono's housing market is shaped by the university: owner-occupied homes, multi-unit rentals, and properties bought by parents for students. We handle purchase and sale agreements, title review, and closings for Orono buyers, sellers, and landlords, and we advise on lease preparation and landlord-tenant disputes that arise with student rentals.

Our roots are in real estate law — the firm began in 1983 as a real estate practice — and we bring that same attention to every closing we handle for Orono clients today.

Family Law in Orono

Orono families include many dual-career households tied to the university, where relocation, job offers, and academic calendars can complicate a custody arrangement.
