Estate Administration & Elder Law

Estate Administration

• Probate (with will)
• Administration (no will exists)
• Small Estate Petitions

We have extensive experience in helping families after the loss of a loved one. Our state of the art systems can efficiently manage estates, both small and large. We reduce the stress and strain through frequent and complete communication.

We meet with the family and loved ones after a loss to provide them with clear and accurate answers to their questions regarding how the probate process works, how much it will cost, and how long it will take. Our experience allows us to keep costs and stress to a minimum, while making sure that the assets of the estate are protected while all of the legal procedures are followed.

If a person dies without a will, we can bring a petition to the Court to provide for distribution of assets and the payments of debts through the process called an “Administration”.

Elder Law

• Trusts
• Wills
• Medicaid Planning (Nursing Home)
• Life Estates
• Durable Power of Attorney – Health Care Proxy.

Life can be complicated. As our lives unfold we sometimes need to deal with situations that we never imagined. Since we work with many people and families, we have seen many situations that can occur.

We help you achieve your goals for protecting your assets and passing them on in an effective, practical manner. We analyze your situation and design a customized plan, no matter how simple or how complex your needs are.

Many of our clients use a combination of a will, power of attorney and health care proxy to protect their interests. Others need to use trusts, either created during their lives, or after their lives to be sure that loved ones are provided for.

Sometimes, the need for a nursing home stay can develop. Whether the need arises suddenly or gradually, we can help you plan for your financial future, while coping with this experience.
