Estate & Trust Administration

Estate and trust administration is often difficult and time-sensitive if you are not prepared. Archer represents executors, administrators, trustees and beneficiaries in probate and estate and trust administration, not only in situations where our attorneys helped create the estate plan, but also in matters where we are called in to advise on discrete, complex administration issues. We provide guidance and assist the fiduciary with each task, which can include probate, intestate administration, inventories, accountings, individual and fiduciary income tax filings, inheritance and estate tax filings, creditor issues, distributions, and terminating or wrapping up the administration. We also guide fiduciaries and beneficiaries through contested matters and litigation. Additionally, we assist clients in providing creative options for refreshing outdated trusts.
