Probate & Trust Administration
Trust and estate administration requires involvement in several areas of substantive law, including federal and state income and estate tax laws, as well as state property law. Our lawyers understand these areas, and we have worked with many personal representatives, trustees, and families to ensure the efficient and orderly transfer of substantial wealth through trusts and estates.
