Estate Administration & Probate

Catalyst attorneys advise personal representatives and executors on the legal and tax issues necessary for an efficient administration of estate assets. Our trusts and estates practice guides clients through the court-supervised probate process, which transfers property from a deceased person to his or her heirs and beneficiaries. At such an emotional time, our experience lends itself to easing the burden of the responsibilities and tasks required for probate or other court proceedings, estate and gift tax preparation, and long-term administration of trust accounts. Learn more ›

Trust Administration

Catalyst Law works with Trustees to manage trust assets as directed by the trust document. Some trusts are created by a deceased person’s Will, and we assist Trustees of those trusts as well. If you are appointed as a Trustee, our attorneys have the expertise to help you understand your legal duties under the terms of the trust and state law, and provide both legal and practical advice to allow a smooth administration of any long-term family trusts. Learn more ›
