Estate Planning and Wills

Our attorneys provide all estate planning services, including the preparation of wills, trusts, living wills, and the administration of estates in probate court. Losing a loved one can be one of the most difficult events in your life. Needing to dedicate hours upon hours to settle your loved one's estate can extend the mourning process and make it worse. Clearly, hiring a reliable, experienced probate attorney to handle the process can prove to be invaluable. If the deceased had a Will, it should be probated. If there is no will, an administration proceeding should be commenced. Our firm is experienced with assisting the executor or the administrator of the estate, as well as the family, in understanding the legal and practical requirements of estate administration and in delegating the numerous tasks to minimize costs. Assistance is also rendered to coordinate the efforts of the family's accountant, investment adviser, insurance counselor, and other professionals to realize the best possible results. Sometimes estate administration matters do not go as smoothly as anticipated. Our attorneys also have years of experience with estate litigation including the handling of will contests, both on behalf of the estate and on behalf of heirs who may have been unscrupulously disinherited through the undue influence of others. We also have experience in assisting families with the resolution of their disputes, whether they stem from an ambiguous will, a disappointed heir, a misdeed by a fiduciary, controversy over property rights, or tax disputes. Unfortunately, all probate attorneys are not equally skilled. Many lawyers who handle probate do it only as a sideline, and as such they are not aware of the latest codes and the newest strategies for maximizing return and minimizing what can be a lengthy probate process. Our staff is well-versed in the probate process, codes and strategies. If you require a probate or administration attorney, please call or fill out our online contact form today. We can help!
