Dedicated Estate Administrators, Trustees and Litigators

As estate administration counsel, we can advise estate trustees and guide them through the probate process, or our lawyers can perform executor/trustee duties if requested. Our lawyers are experienced in dealing with even the most complex estate issues, and often will be called upon to perform these duties when the circumstances become overwhelming for the individual(s) appointed under the Will.
