Estate/Trust Administration and Probate
We provide legal assistance after a death in a prompt, tax-efficient, and cost-efficient manner and in accordance with the decedent's estate planning documents. This often includes probate administration, trust administration, income tax planning, estate tax planning, retirement account planning, and disclaimer planning. We typically represent executors and trustees during administration. In addition, we are also well-equipped to represent beneficiaries of estates and trusts whose interests need to be explained, understood, and fully protected in both contested and uncontested situations. We help families maintain family vacation homes for future generations, including income tax planning, and estate planning as well as planning for the equitable usage of the vacation home where future generations may have competing desires with regard to usage.
