We focus on providing compassionate legal advice.
When a loved one passes away, Clovis Law Group LLP can help family members through the probate and trust administration process. During this difficult time, we focus on providing compassionate legal advice so that clients can focus on spending time with their family.
Clovis Law Group LLP helps clients through the difficult time after a loved one passes away, whether or not they left an estate plan. Probate Administration and Trust Administration services include:
- Educating executors, trustees, and beneficiaries about the probate and trust administration processes
- If probate is necessary, guiding the decedent’s will through the probate process as efficiently as the court process allows
- Handling trust administration, including the management and distribution of assets
- Consulting with trust and estate accountants in the preparation of state and federal estate and inheritance tax returns
- Consulting with the trust and estate accountants on making distributions in a tax-effective manner
- Advising heirs and beneficiaries, when asked and appropriate, regarding post-mortem estate planning techniques in order to minimize future tax implications
Additionally, some estates do not warrant a “formal” probate and may qualify for a “small estate probate” proceeding. Clovis Law Group LLP can assist in evaluating whether such a proceeding is appropriate and assist in the process.
