Estate & Trust Administration

Following the death of a loved one, estate administration is often necessary. The estate administration process may involve several steps, depending on the circumstances. For example, the deceased person’s will may need to be validated, an estate representative may need to be appointed by the court, debts may need to be paid, and trust assets may need to be distributed.

Regardless of the circumstances, hiring an attorney to help with estate administration is always recommended. An attorney who has experience with estate administration will be able to help you understand the process so you can complete it with as little stress and expense as possible. 

If you have an interest in a loved one’s estate in Illinois, or if you have been named the executor of a deceased person’s estate or the trustee of a deceased person's trust, you need to seek legal counsel as soon as possible. Please contact our office today to schedule a consultation.
