What Is Death Administration?
Death administration occurs after someone dies and is basically the process for figuring out what happens to a person's assets and making sure loose ends are tied up. The process has two parts: trust administration and probate.
Why Do You Need a Lawyer for Probate?
If you are the personal representative (PR) for a person's estate, I can help you file the required paperwork in order to let you take care of obligations, such as:
- Gathering up money and property
- Signing on deeds
- Selling and distributing estate property
- Pay bills and funeral expenses
Once family members agree that everything has been performed correctly, I can help you make sure they get their share of the estate and help ensure you are protected from liability.
Avoiding the Estate Tax
When dealing with a large estate, the estate or "death" tax can be a burden for heirs. To avoid unnecessary taxation for your heirs, I can help you establish a trust to house a portion of your assets in order to keep your estate from being subjected to the estate tax.
