TRUST ADMINISTRATION

SKILLED LEGAL ASSISTANCE
WITH TRUST ADMINISTRATIONS

Following the death of a loved one, the ensuing amount of paperwork can be overwhelming for mourning family members. If the decedent established a trust as a part of his or her estate plan, the appointed successor trustee must oversee the trust administration process.

A trust often helps the family avoid probate and portions of the estate administration process. While the trust administration may not involve court filings and oversight, most successor trustees will benefit from skilled legal guidance through the often complicated process.
