The Probate and Trust Administration Attorneys at Clovis Law Group LLP help clients through the difficult time after a loved one passes away without an estate plan or when the estate plan is challenged. Probate Administration and Trust Administration service include:
- Educating executors, trustees, and beneficiaries about the probate and trust administration processes
- If probate is necessary, ensuring that the decedent’s will moves through the probate process quickly and efficiently
- Ensuring efficient trust administration, including the management and distribution of assets
- Consulting with trust and estate accountants in the preparation of state and federal estate and inheritance tax returns
- Consulting with the trust and estate accountants to ensure that distributions are made in a tax-effective manner
- Advising heirs and beneficiaries, when asked and appropriate, regarding post-mortem estate planning techniques in order to minimize future tax implications
Additionally, some estates do not warrant a “formal” probate and may qualify for a “small estate probate” proceeding. The attorneys at Clovis Law Group LLP can assist in evaluating whether such a proceeding is appropriate and assist in the process.
