Executor & Administrator Duties

Executors and estate Administrators have very important duties owed to the estate that they have been appointed to manage.  We require all of our clients who are seeking to be appointed as executor or administrator to review and sign an acknowledgement that you understand what your duties are to any beneficiaries, the court, and the estate.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is the process of creating a plan for the distribution of your assets after you pass away or become incapacitated. This plan typically includes preparing legal documents such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advanced healthcare directives. The purpose of estate planning is to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and that your loved ones are taken care of in the event of your death or incapacity. Additionally, estate planning can also help you minimize estate taxes, avoid probate, and protect your assets from creditors or other potential threats.
