We assist executors and administrators in administering estates, directing them as to collecting the estate assets, paying the enforceable debts, filing the necessary tax returns and making advantageous tax elections, selling assets, dividing and distributing the estate to its heirs, and properly funding trusts created under a decedent’s will.
We utilize our knowledge and experience to assist executors and administrators in handling estate creditors in both solvent and insolvent estates, sometimes negotiating down or avoiding some debts, and defending estates against creditor claims.
In circumstances where a person dies without a will, “intestate,” Staubus and Randall has experience in receiving court permission for an unsupervised court-created independent administration of estates when the agreement of all of the heirs can be obtained, saving the estate significant time and money.
