Probate & Trust Administration
Estate administration is a critical and complex undertaking. It encompasses numerous detailed tasks that must be executed promptly and accurately. Failure to complete these tasks, or doing so incompetently, can lead to personal financial liability. As a trustee or executor, you find yourself in a pivotal role, managing the affairs of a deceased loved one during a period that is often marked by heightened grief, emotional turmoil, and potential family conflicts.
Engaging our firm from the onset can significantly ease the burdens associated with navigating the maze of responsibilities involved in estate administration. This includes interactions with beneficiaries, government agencies (such as the IRS, FTB, and Recorder’s Office), financial institutions, pension funds, real estate agents, and the execution of specialized notifications, tax filings, creditor claims, and possibly ongoing accounting requirements.
Creating a trust may seem straightforward, but its administration is anything but simple. The relatively informal nature of trust administration can misleadingly suggest to new trustees that the process is straightforward. This misconception can lead to underestimating the complexity and scope of the responsibilities involved.
Don’t be misled into thinking trust administration is a simple task. Click here to delve deeper into estate administration. Schedule a consultation with us today to discover how ROI Law Firm can guide and support you through this intricate process.

Estate Administration (Probate and Trusts)
Every well-crafted estate plan includes clauses that allow the personal representative — whether an Executor or Trustee — to enlist legal support for estate administration. Typically, this representative is someone the deceased trusted implicitly. Yet, it’s crucial to understand that personal representatives can face significant liability for mistakes made during the administration process. Seeking legal counsel early can help mitigate errors, simplify the administrative procedures, and decrease the potential for litigation. While establishing a trust may seem relatively simple, administering it is often more complex. Click here for in-depth information on estate administration.

Litigation Services
Trustees and personal representatives are entrusted with significant legal obligations toward both the deceased and the beneficiaries. Bryan is committed to advocating for individuals to secure the assets they are rightfully entitled to upon someone’s passing. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for individuals to attempt taking advantage of situations when someone is vulnerable or has passed away. Litigation services are essential for resolving disputes and ensuring justice, involving court appearances to address and rectify disagreements.
Proactive estate planning and regular updates can significantly reduce the likelihood of litigation. Nonetheless, complex family dynamics such as unrecognized children, blended families, and strained relationships can still give rise to valid disputes.
