Advising executors and trustees

We can act in several capacities during the estate administration or probate process. We advise the executor, or personal representative, as needed. We take an active role by paying taxes and debts, selling assets, and distributing property as directed by the Will. If named in a Will or trust instrument, our lawyers can act as executors or trustees themselves, managing the assets, and carrying out the provisions of the Will or trust.

Litigating probate and estate administration conflicts

We also assist when disputes over the terms of a Will or trust arise. We represent individuals and estates in Will contests that allege undue influence or some other interference with the testator's ability to make a Will or create a trust. When heirs believe that the executor is not properly carrying out his or her duties, we can undertake litigation to correct the situation.

Relying upon specialists

Whenever needed for probate and estate administration matters, our network of experts helps maximize the value of property in the estate. The team includes appraisers, tax advisors, investment advisors, and real estate brokers, all of whom work to preserve and increase assets in estates and trusts.
