Estate and Trust Administration (Fiduciary Representation)

Estate and Trust Administration (Fiduciary Representation)

Losing a loved one is difficult, and settling their estate or trust can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re managing a probate estate, trust estate, or non-probate estate, professional legal guidance can help ensure a smooth process.

What Is Estate and Trust Administration?

After someone passes away, their assets must be properly distributed according to their will, trust, or state law. This process, known as estate administration, can involve legal and financial complexities—especially when Medical Assistance (MA) benefits, liens, elective share claims, or estate recovery claims are involved.
