Interpreting a trust or will and fulfilling fiduciary obligations to heirs and beneficiaries can be an overwhelming experience for clients. Personal representatives and trustees have personal liability for their actions. When you are faced with decisions that may have permanent and burdensome financial and tax implications, we can advise you and provide the necessary legal information to protect the rights and financial interests of your family and the beneficiaries of the estate or trust.
Some of our estate administration services include the following:
Assistance with estate distribution: When you are the personal representative of an estate, or the trustee of a trust, we can advise you regarding your duties though the entire process, and protect you from personal liability. We can assist you in gathering assets, protecting the assets from creditors, and distributing the estate.
Preparation of Trust and Estate taxes: Estate taxes returns are very complicated and must be filed within a nine months after death. Our attorneys can assist you with the filing of estate taxes to protect you from personal liability as the representative. Probate: Probate is a formal court process that determines how portions of the estate and other assets will be distributed. Anything that does not pass by title is subject to the probate process. We can assist you throughout the probate process to ensure that distribution and administration of the estate is in compliance with the law. If a person desires that their heirs and beneficiaries are able to avoid the probate process entirely, a trust may be the best solution.
