Estate and Probate Administration

While most of our planning involves Revocable Trusts that avoid probate,  if assets are owned in a decedent’s own name, some form of estate administration or filing through Probate Court will be required.  A personal estate representative is tasked with collecting information about the deceased individual, collecting their assets, preparing an inventory and distributing the assets to estate beneficiaries. This process often involves a court proceeding known as Probate. Navigating probate court and estate administration can be challenging. It involves many tasks, each with its own level of complexity and importance. We have a wealth of experience representing personal representatives through the entire process of administering an estate.

As an estate is administered, occasionally disputes and disagreements arise. To ensure that your rights and interests are protected, the administration of an estate must have first-rate representation. It is equally important that the personal representative of an estate have superior representation in defending their actions. Our attorneys have been on both sides of contested probate cases and are experienced in finding suitable resolutions to any problems that may arise throughout the administration of an estate.
