ESTATE ADMINISTRATION begins upon the death of an individual. It refers to the manner and procedures necessary to resolve personal and financial affairs, and may include preparation of final income tax returns, probating a Last Will and Testament, preparing and filing estate tax returns and gift tax returns, representation before the state and federal tax administration, preparation of accountings, paying all final debts of a decedent and proper distribution of assets. An estate administration can be simple or complex, the determination of which depends on many factors, not simply the size of an estate. Our firm has the experience to handle all types of estate administration.
