Probate processes vary from state to state. With attorneys barred in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Florida, our team can help navigate estate administration in various jurisdictions.
At its core, probate is the legal process wherein your assets are used to pay debts and final expenses and ultimately pass to heirs and beneficiaries after your death.
Our lawyers will guide you through the complicated probate process, including preparation of all pleadings and forms with the relevant authorities (inventories, accountings, and reports). We also are equipped to prepare required income, estate, and inheritance tax returns. Finally, we assist with the distribution of assets to beneficiaries according to a will.
Our attorneys will also advise trustees and fiduciaries on the trust administration process. We will educate you on your responsibilities as a fiduciary, advise on tax issues, and prepare any beneficiary notifications and accountings that must be circulated.
