Estate and Trust

Administration

Estate and trust administration is the process of managing and distributing a deceased person’s assets according to their will or trust documents, or, if no documents exist, under the laws of intestacy. This involves collecting and valuing assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the rightful beneficiaries. Our experienced attorneys are well-versed in all aspects of this process, ensuring that every step is handled with care, precision, and in compliance with all legal requirements.

Our services include advising executors and trustees on their duties and responsibilities, preparing and filing necessary court documents, assisting with the inventory and appraisal of estate assets, and managing the estate’s financial affairs. We also handle creditor claims, resolve disputes among beneficiaries, and provide representation in any litigation that may arise during the administration process.

In addition to the technical aspects of estate and trust administration, we recognize the importance of clear and consistent communication with all parties involved. We strive to keep beneficiaries informed, address their concerns, and work towards resolutions that honor the decedent’s wishes and promote harmony among survivors.

We also understand that timely and efficient administration is crucial. We use our expertise to streamline the process, reduce administrative burdens, and expedite the distribution of assets, all while ensuring the highest level of professional care and legal compliance.
