Probate, Estate and Trust Administration


 Our firm’s probate, estate and trust administration attorneys actively assist fiduciaries in the administration of complex decedent’s estates and trusts. We counsel individuals and corporate fiduciaries on their responsibilities as personal representative and trustee. Our practice has extensive experience in handling routine and complex probate court matters. We also assist personal representatives and trustees in managing the myriad daily responsibilities of a fiduciary, including asset collection, asset transfer and accounting.

 
Our collective experience allows us to efficiently anticipate and address issues at the outset of the engagement and, when appropriate, to devise favorable tax planning strategies. We also prepare estate tax returns using sophisticated tax preparation software. Additionally, we have represented many estates in federal audits of estate tax returns.
 
Our attorneys can assist in obtaining the appointment of a guardian and/or a conservator for loved ones who no longer are able to make appropriate healthcare or financial decisions.
