Estate Administration

The laws and rules governing disposition of assets and wrapping up of a decedent's affairs can be daunting. Our firm is experienced in helping clients navigate these procedures, including probate, conservatorships, and fiduciary obligations. The process often involves drafting and filing petitions, preparing inventories of assets and liabilities, negotiating compromise agreements among beneficiaries, heirs and legatees, and retitling assets. When appropriate, LLG helps clients identify and implement post-mortem planning opportunities to reduce tax and transfer costs. Specialized advice specific to fiduciaries is also available. Fiduciaries include executors, personal representatives and trustees.
