Your Estate Administration Team
When we represent a personal representative, a lawyer in our office has primary responsibility for assisting the personal representative in the administration of the estate. Depending on the size and complexity of the estate, the supervising lawyer may be assisted by another lawyer. In all cases, a paralegal whose work is concentrated in estate administration and related fields will be assigned to the estate as well. The personal representative will probably find that he or she has considerable regular contact with the paralegal assigned to the estate. As questions arise during the administration, personal representatives find the paralegal a great source of practical advice. He or she can also help you identify legal issues that require the supervising lawyer’s attention.
The law firm’s state-wide practice is restricted to drafting wills and trusts of all types, advising individuals on matters of gift tax, estate tax, generation skipping transfer tax and fiduciary tax, probating estates, administering trusts, advising individuals on business succession planning and wealth preservation, representing parties in probate and trust litigation matters, counseling individuals involved in guardianship and conservatorship matters and advising charitable organizations.
