Estate Planning vs. Administration
Estate planning involves creating a plan for distributing your assets after your passing. On the other hand, estate administration is the process of carrying out and fulfilling the terms of wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents.
Some of the tasks involved in estate administration include:
Proving the validity of a will
Identifying and gathering assets
Paying debts
Filing state and federal death tax returns
Distributing assets according to directions in a will or trust
Our team has extensive experience in estate planning and administration—as well as relevant legal areas like business, real estate, and family law—allowing us to guide clients through every step with confidence and efficiency.
