Estate, Probate & Trust Administration

If you have been named the executor of an estate, you may want help with the sometimes complex and lengthy process of guiding the will through probate. A skilled estate administration and probate attorney can help the executor prepare and file the required probate court paperwork, including the petition, inventory, and account, arrange for the appraisal of the assets of the deceased, give proper legal notice to the decedent’s beneficiaries and the estate’s creditors, arrange for payment of final bills, prepare and file estate and fiduciary tax returns, distribute assets among the estate’s beneficiaries according to the terms of the will, and close the estate once probate is complete. The combination estate administration and probate lawyers and Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) at the Beliveau Law Group can assist in the estate and probate administration areas of:

  • Conservatorships
  • Estate Fiduciary Income Tax Returns
  • Estate Tax Returns
  • Guardianships

Conservatorships and Guardianships

What happens when a parent or other adult relative becomes mentally and/or physically unable to manage his or her own financial affairs and/or health care decisions? Unless other provisions are made beforehand (through a durable power of attorney and health care directive), the person’s financial and physical well-being may be placed into the hands of the probate court system whereby the person is made a ward of the court. The combination conservatorship and guardianship attorneys and Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) at the Beliveau Law Group can help you with the probate court conservatorship and guardianship process.
