Dedicated to ensuring that your loved one’s final wishes are followed after their death, our firm focuses on providing effective and efficient trust and estate administration services. If an individual passes with a will and no other estate planning documents, or passes without any estate planning at all,  it is likely that his or her estate will need to be probated. Probate refers to the legal process for the collection and administration of the assets and debts of a person after they have passed away. Probate can often be avoided with a properly drafted and funded trust. Trust administration refers to the process of carrying out the duties and responsibilities of a trust while properly serving in the role of fiduciary. Regardless of the level of estate planning, our attorneys have significant experience in assisting clients with making sure that the appropriate procedures are followed to timely transfer a decedent’s assets pursuant to their wishes.
