After a death

Real responsibilities, at the hardest possible time.

When someone passes away, the people left in charge — an executor, a trustee, a surviving spouse — inherit a list of legal and financial duties. Estate administration is the work of carrying them out correctly: marshaling assets, paying valid debts and taxes, and transferring what remains to the right people.

Whether the estate passes through probate or a trust shapes how that work unfolds. Not sure which applies to your situation? That's a common first question, and a short conversation usually answers it.

Two paths, depending on the plan

Probate Administration

Court-supervised settlement of an estate — we guide executors and administrators from filing to closing.

Trust Administration

Settling a trust after the grantor's death — usually faster and more private than probate, but not automatic.
