• preparation of inventories and accountings;

• preparation of estate and gift tax returns;

• estate distribution and settlement;

• mediation;

• family settlement agreements;

• will contests; and

• representing executors and administrators before the IRS.

We also represent trustees and beneficiaries in connection with funding, administering, modifying and terminating trusts, and in litigation of contested trust matters.
