Probate & Trust Administration

We provide a broad spectrum of probate and trust administration services representing both individuals and corporate fiduciaries. Our attorneys provide counsel to fiduciaries on opening and administering probate estates, minimizing taxes, protecting and investing assets, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. Our team works closely with the firm’s corporate, tax, real estate, securities and litigation attorneys to meet and address our client’s needs and concerns in these matters. We know that managing the affairs of a trust or estate demands strict adherence to complex state and federal laws and regulations, and our team of professionals advises clients so they can comply with these laws and regulations.
