Estate, Trust and Guardianship Administration

Nusinov Smith LLP’s legal team uses years of experience to guide our clients through difficult tasks at some of life’s most difficult times.

  • Estate Administration: When a loved one dies and leaves you in the position of carrying out the estate plan, you are left trying to navigate a challenging and technical process during a deeply emotional time. Choose our knowledgeable, compassionate team to help you through the estate administration process. Assets that passing under probate must be valued and reported before the Register of Wills and our office can help you take those steps efficiently and effectively. We can also assist with transferring ownership of assets that pass outside of probate and communicating with financial institutions whose forms and procedures can be painfully complex.
  • Trust Administration: When your estate plan includes trusts to manage assets for loved ones, our team is ready to advise your chosen trustee on fiduciary and management matters. Your estate plan may include a trust to manage assets for children or grandchildren until those young people reach a certain age; or you may include a trust in your estate plan for a spouse or someone who receives state benefits. As part of the planning process, our attorneys can guide you on making sound decisions on whom to choose as trustee so that your wishes will be honored and your beneficiaries properly cared for.
  • Guardianship Administration: When you are serving as the guardian of a loved one’s person or property, our office can advise you on adhering to the rules of that role, including the preparation and filing of annual reports and accountings. When your role requires court oversight, rely on our team to help you make the right report on time the first time.
