Trust and Estate Administration Law

A CHAMPION.  Thomas knows that people who have a trust, have chosen a champion to administer the trust during their incapacity, and likewise, the trust and the estate upon their passing.  That person, or persons may be a trustee, executor, attorney-in-fact, or health care agent.  Similarly, Thomas understands that people who have an inadequate estate plan or no plan at all when they die, need a champion to administer the estate upon their passing in a probate administration.  That person will be a personal representative, who may be an executor of a will or an administrator without one.  If you find yourself playing one of these roles, Thomas can advise you on your rights and responsibilities as well as guide you through the process.

Probably the most sought after services in trust and estate administration are when a creator of a trust, or a person with an inadequate estate plan or no plan at all has died, and a trustee or personal representative needs to know what to do next.  The primary tasks that must be taken care of are, an inventory of assets and liabilities, a paying of debts, expenses, and taxes, a recording and filing of necessary documents with the government, and a distribution of assets to the beneficiaries.  Thomas can keep you on track to meet the various deadlines and to cover all the tasks that need to be completed.
