- Estate PlanningThough estate planning can minimize the risk of conflict further down the line, the estate and trust assets must be effectively administered to ensure that the distribution of said assets goes off without a hitch. We shepherd clients through the probate process to ensure that all the assets are not only properly identified and valued, but that they are protected to the greatest extent possible from unscrupulous creditors and the machinations of hostile beneficiaries.
- Wills
- TrustsWhether or not a comprehensive estate plan has been drafted and executed, assets must be administered. Probate (i.e., estate and trust administration) is a court-assisted process through which those who are responsible for the deceased individual’s assets are expected to file petitions, notify beneficiaries and creditors, take inventory, coordinate the appraisal of assets, pay taxes, and distribute assets, among various other tasks.
