Do They Have a Trust?

If your loved one created a Trust, it outlines how their assets should be managed and distributed after their passing. We work closely with the trustee to ensure:

Proper Trust administration: We ensure the Trust’s terms are followed and all legal requirements are met.
Minimized conflict: We help navigate potential disputes and ensure beneficiaries receive their fair share.
Efficient asset transfer: We handle the legal and financial aspects to transfer assets smoothly.

No Trust? Probate Court Is Most Likely Needed.

If there is no Trust, or some assets weren’t properly titled in the Trust’s name, Probate Court is required to oversee the distribution of assets. This process can be lengthy and complex, but we can help:

Navigate the probate process: We handle all legal aspects, including filing paperwork and representing you in court.
Pay debts and taxes: We ensure all financial obligations are met efficiently.
Distribute assets to beneficiaries: We follow your loved one’s wishes or the court’s order for distributing assets.

Identification, collection, and determination of values of assets
Payment of all debts, expenses, and taxes from estate and trust assets, with submission of regular accountings
Advice as to the disposition of jointly held assets, life insurance, and retirement benefits that pass outside a will or trust

Our Promise to You:

Minimize court involvement: We strive to resolve matters efficiently, minimizing the need for court appearances.
