Administration of Trust Estates

Our firm represents trustees throughout the process of settling estates. Estate administration of trusts does not happen in court; however, trustees may need legal assistance in several areas. Many individuals who are named as the trustee are unaware of the duties required of them. For example, trustees are required to notify the beneficiaries of the decedent’s death, sell the house or other real estate if necessary, pay the estate's debts, and distribute property and assets according to the decedent's wishes. Our firm provides complete representation to trustees to ensure that their responsibilities are met.

Probated Estates

Probate is an involved process that is much easier with the help of an experienced attorney. Our firm represents heirs, executors, and family members in probate court. In some situations, such as a will or trust contest, the matter may need to be resolved through litigation. Our firm provides representation in contested estates to address these contentious matters.

Since 1980, Attorney Robert Zapolis has helped individuals and families establish effective estate plans that reduce complications and the need for a time-consuming and costly probate process. Please contact our firm today to arrange your consultation.
