Estate planning is about more than distributing your property after your death – though a properly-crafted estate plan does allow you to provide for the distribution of your assets to your loved ones upon your passing, it also provides for your care and the management of your assets if you become incapacitated.
Your estate plan represents the culmination of the work of your lifetime.
Whether your estate plan involves a will or a more complex arrangement of trusts and other instruments, an estate administration attorney can help make sure that your wishes are followed and your property is distributed accordingly. If you are the administrator of a probate estate or trust, an estate administration attorney can help you navigate the process and ensure that you meet your fiduciary obligations to the estate and beneficiaries.
