Probate and Estate Trust Administration

With substantial experience in probate and estate and trust administration, our attorneys often serve as counsel for individual and corporate fiduciaries and may act as personal representatives or trustees in special circumstances. Clients value our focused attention when representing them in connection with IRS and state audits involving estate, gift and income tax controversy matters.
