Probate and Trust Administration Attorneys
Ann F. Schrooten and Denis M. Fitzgibbons offer extensive experience in the area of probate and trust administration, and have handled estates of all sizes and complexities, ranging from simple estates to large estates comprised of extensive holdings in real estate, business interests, and assets located in more than one state.
Experienced Guides for Trustees and Personal Representatives
For estates that are subject to probate, we work closely with the decedent's personal representative (known in some other states as "executor"), helping them navigate the unfamiliar legal and procedural issues that probate often involves.
For estates that include a trust, and therefore avoid probate in part or entirely, we are a valuable resource for successor trustees tasked with managing trust assets.
We advise and assist both types of estate fiduciaries – personal representatives and successor trustees – in a wide range of issues, including, as applicable:
- Fiduciary duties, powers, and standards of care
- Notification of heirs, beneficiaries and creditors
- Accounting and record-keeping requirements
- Creditor claims
- Personal representative and trustee compensation and attorney's fees
Estate and Trust Litigation Attorneys
When estate controversies arise – such as disputes between heirs or beneficiaries, claims of breach of fiduciary duties, challenges of wills or trusts, etc. – our estate litigation attorneys can provide experienced representation of trustees, personal representatives, heirs, beneficiaries, disinherited persons or other individuals or entities that have an interest in the estate.
