Probate Administration

The Erb Law Firm, PC provides probate estate administration services. We are sensitive to the needs of clients who have recently lost a loved one, and who may be overwhelmed by the duties of dealing with estate administration during an emotionally stressful time. It is equally important that the assets of an estate be identified and distributed in a manner that makes the most practical and financial sense - and is the best interpretation of the decedents wishes. We work with clients to help them through this difficult time.

An important factor in estate administration is tax planning. The timing of income tax returns and crucial elections to be made on estate and inheritance tax returns demand the high level of tax knowledge that The Erb Law Firm, PC, offers. We can also assist with post-mortem planning techniques and elections by the Executor to minimize tax consequences and maximize efficiency.

Sometimes disputes arise between beneficiaries of an estate. Proper accountings, signed releases and timely distributions can reduce the likelihood of difficulties at probate.

When difficulties do arise however, The Erb Law Firm, PC, responds by working with the estates and beneficiaries to address will contests and estate audits in a timely and responsive manner.
