Probate & Estate Administration

We have walked in your shoes - trying to settle a loved one's estate while dealing with the stress and grief associated with the loss of your loved one. That is why we strive to provide assistance in this often confusing and stressful process. We are willing to provide as much or as little assistance as you feel you need.

We handle all aspects of Probate and Estate Administration. Probate is the legal process by which a person's will is accepted by the Probate Court. THe provisions of the will dictate how the individual's debts are paid and assets are distributed upon death. Estate Administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the deceased's assets, such as life insurance, annuities, qualified plans, and trust assets and compliance with applicable estate tax requirements. We assist the personal representative of the estate in the gathering, valuing, accounting and distributing the decedent's assets, as well as, preparing the necessary legal and federal and state tax documents.

It is our responsibility to assure that all steps are properly taken in order to carry out the decedent's intent in accordance with the law.
