About Wendy L. Prater, Attorney at Law

As a dedicated attorney specializing in general civil practice, I focus on probate matters and guardianship law to enable families and individuals to navigate complex legal processes. My expertise extends to representing vulnerable parties—including wards, unknown heirs, children, and parents—as attorney ad litem, guardian ad litem, and amicus attorney in probate and family courts. I also serve as a court-appointed administrator of estates, trusted to manage assets with integrity.
