Taking the Burden off you During the Estate Administration Process
If you recently lost a family member, you may want to consider locating an experienced probate attorney. Attorney Jim Ryan has been with our firm since 1975 and has focused much of his career in real estate, estate planning and probate. He is experienced in settling both small and large estates.
Attorney Ryan will file all the appropriate documents for you, locate assets, retitle them to the correct beneficiaries, assist in distribution of assets, provide for any creditors of the estate, look for any tax issues, and work with an accountant as necessary on federal gift and estate tax returns. You do not need the hassle of handling these technicalities while you grieve. Put the work in our hands and we will guide you through this process.
Enlist Assistance if There is a Dispute Over a Will
If a dispute arises during the estate administration process, our attorneys stand ready to represent you in probate litigation. If you feel you have been improperly left out of a will, we will represent your interests in Probate Court. We will also pursue probate litigation if you believe your loved one lacked the necessary state of mind (testamentary capacity) or was overcome by undue influence during the creation of the will.
Help Your Loved Ones by Planning Ahead
If you lost a loved one who did not have a will, then you understand the complications that can arise during probate. Avoid having your loved ones go through the same troubled times you experienced by creating a comprehensive estate plan.
We assist clients with a full array of estate planning services, including will and trust preparation and the creation of durable powers of attorney and advanced health care directives. We also have experience with large estates that require complex tax planning.
