Probate and Trust Administration
Are You a Personal Representative or Trustee of an Estate?
When a loved one passes away, grieving that loss is your main focus. The business aspects that need to be addressed are the last thing you want to think about. The business of dealing with a death, however, is very important. Ignoring the important issues can cause added stress and unnecessary difficulties in the future. There are many things to be done: assets need to be identified and secured; creditors need to be identified and the validity of the debt determined; income and estate tax liabilities need to be identified; a family business may need management and the family may need money for living expenses until the administration of the probate estate is completed — to name just a few.
