Our team of experienced advisors and advocates expertly handles the processes of estate administration, also known as probate and trust administration. We counsel and guide you as fiduciaries throughout this process, understanding that it is often emotional and unfamiliar. Our goal is to ensure you can confidently and efficiently comply with your legal responsibilities.

We help you administer the will or trust, determine the forms and timing and type of distributions (in-kind or cash), and comply with filing requirements for deeds, transfer documents, and estate tax returns. Our attorneys help you collect, inventory, and appraise assets, comply with tax filings, make tax selections, satisfy creditors, pay bills, and transfer assets to beneficiaries.

If conflicts arise between you and beneficiaries, such as contesting a will, trust administration conflicts, or executor disputes, our estates and trusts attorneys partner with the firm’s experienced litigators to resolve them. We handle a range of issues including trustee breaches of fiduciary duty, estate planning disputes, and undue influence in estate planning, ensuring your interests are protected every step of the way.
