Probate and Trust Administration

The Passing of a Loved one and the administration of their estate through probate, or trust, are deeply personal matters that call for the utmost care and attention from your attorney and financial advisor. If life and legacy planning is the process of designing a life and legacy blueprint, probate and trust administration are the processes of actually building a legacy.

The process begins with an event that triggers a provision in your plan, such as incapacity or death. The plan becomes ‘executory’, meaning that the individuals you designated in your plan documents must step into action and execute according to your instructions.

Probate and Trust administration can be complex and the people you have designated to execute your plan need competent and experienced counsel and advice to guide them through the process. They must make important decisions – sometimes quickly – and they need help to make them wisely. They may need to prepare inventories of your property, prepare tax returns, or sign other important documents on your behalf. Ultimately they must divide and distribute your property to those individuals or charities you identified in your will or trust.
