How we can help:
Removal of Trustee: If a Successor Trustee fails to act within a reasonable timeframe, or there is suspicion that a trustee is misappropriating funds, a Trustee can be compelled to produce an accounting or a distribution, or this may be cause for removal.
Representation of Beneficiary: If you are the beneficiary of an estate, via Trust or Probate, we will help you understand the nature of your potential inheritance, the anticipated process, and the expected timelines.
What are my rights as a beneficiary of a Trust?
You are entitled to:
Clear and consistent communication
An accounting of Trust assets and expenditures
A copy of the Trust
What are my rights as a beneficiary of an estate in Probate?
You are entitled to:

We believe that our diverse background, commitment to open communication with clients and honest legal advice will make us different than any other estate planning and probate firm you know.
