Estate Administration

Estate Administration

I can provide trust and estate administration legal services to both Massachusetts and out-of-state executors and trustees. When coping with the loss of a loved one, the added responsibilities and burdens of settling an estate can seem overwhelming. My estate administration services can provide help and support during a difficult time with the following specialties:

  • Probate Services

  • Trust administration

  • Ancillary probate services

  • Asset retitling

  • Asset distribution

  • Other estate administration services

  • Trustee/Beneficiary Disputes

If you need help with the probate of a Massachusetts will, or if you have been named as a successor trustee under a living trust, I offer a free consultation, in person or by telephone. I can advise you regarding your postmortem trust administration duties. I can review trust instruments to make sure all assets are properly transferred and titled, help you to prepare accurate accountings, and assist you to close the Probate Estate.

I can typically help out-of-state executors and trustees fulfill their responsibilities without the need to travel to Massachusetts. I will keep you advised of probate proceedings and ensure a smooth transfer of property.

How my Estate Administration Services Help

With years of experience in probate court, I know how to open an estate, inventory and assemble the assets, manage the claims of creditors, and handle all other duties of an executor or personal representative in Massachusetts. My goal is to get the assets into the hands of the rightful heirs and beneficiaries as quickly as possible, in accordance with Massachusetts probate law.

In some cases, there may be disagreement or confusion about the proper ownership of an asset due to ambiguous terms in a will. These situations may require the expertise of an attorney to resolve disagreements and potential family discord. My estate administration services can prevent legal complications and find practical solutions to difficult problems.
