Estate Administration

Coping with the loss of a loved one is difficult, so at our offices, we educate you regarding what to expect in post death administration, commonly referred to as "probate", so that your difficulties are not intensified. Frustration and concern often stem from difficult issues regarding the estate and how it should be administered, as well as the amount of time it takes to probate the estate, and the expenses involved.

Our firm represents fiduciaries and beneficiaries in Ohio probate courts by filing the necessary pleadings to admit a decedent's will to probate, and preparing all documents and filings required under Ohio laws and procedures. We also administer and "settle" trusts, when the trust maker dies.

Easing Your Burden

At our offices, we help people throughout Northeast Ohio alleviate their frustration with the probate process by providing superior legal representation, and constantly communicating with you so that you are always aware of the status of your probate matter. We give you a realistic picture, setting your expectations regarding the amount of time the estate administration will take, the amount it will cost, and the extent to which you will need to be involved.

We take special care during these difficult times to represent families with caring and compassionate counsel, guidance, and direction. Our lawyers are well aware of the stress that legal proceedings often add to a difficult situation and we strive to complete the formal process as quickly as possible, while still meeting and exceeding your goals. Contact us for unsurpassed experience and legal service.
