When a spouse passes away, legal questions arrive at the worst possible time. Grief, paperwork, and deadlines collide, and many people worry they will make an expensive mistake. Rita came to Joco Legal during that kind of moment and chose to share her story.
Knowing the Law, Protecting a Surviving Spouse
Rita first came to Joco Legal after another attorney recommended Jason Covington for a probate matter. She faced decisions that carried both financial and emotional weight. Rather than rush her through the process, Jason walked her through the laws that applied to her situation as a surviving spouse.
Rita explains it in her own words: “When your loved one passes away, it can be a difficult time to make decisions. Jason Covington was recommended to me by another attorney. He knows the laws on probate issues. More specifically, he knew my rights as a surviving spouse. This saved me money; I didn't have to pay for time to research or discuss issues that would not change the outcome. Furthermore, I didn't spend time gathering numbers or documents that were not necessary for my case. In the end, I made a friend in Jason and rest knowing we spared a lot of time, energy, and emotions to get to the best result possible for my situation.” – Rita
