Estate & Trust Administration

Estate and trust administration are important aspects of preserving and transferring wealth and assets. For example, proper administration planning can provide opportunities for tax savings. Valuation issues may also be part of the comprehensive administration of estates and trusts. If you have an extensive estate, have created trusts, or have business interests that will be transferred to heirs, the administration of your estate or trusts is a critical element of your comprehensive estate planning.
