Your Guide To Probate And Estate Administration On Staten Island
Losing a cherished family member is difficult in many ways. In addition to the sense of loss and emotional struggles, family members are often left to deal with the legal issues surrounding the person’s estate. A knowledgeable lawyer can help you avoid the pitfalls of probate and estate administration and make sure that the estate is handled according to the decedent’s wishes.
Attorneys at the law firm of Angiuli & Gentile, LLP, have been helping administer estates for more than 30 years in Staten Island. Our lawyers offer sound advice and compassion during difficult times, taking care of legal issues so that our clients can focus on the personal issues they are facing after losing loved ones.
Providing A Path Through Probate
The probate process does not have to be as complicated as it is often made out to be. When someone with a last will and testament passes, their will often must go through the probate process. A court proceeding is required to grant the executor the authority to marshal and distribute assets according to the provisions of the will.
At Angiuli & Gentile, LLP, our attorneys are experienced in assisting executors in this process. When conflict or questions about the validity of a will arise, they can also provide legal representation in the case of a will contest.
Navigating Estate Administration When Someone Dies Without A Will
If you are concerned that, because your loved one passed without a will in place, their assets will go to the state, then you should know that this is not necessarily the case. When someone dies without a will, our lawyers are able to step in and bring an administration proceeding in court. They will make sure that the assets of the decedent are distributed to beneficiaries according to New York state laws.
Efficiently Winding Up Trusts
Trusts are estate planning “living documents” that people create and update throughout their lives, in part to avoid probate and/or administration. At Angiuli & Gentile, LLP, our attorneys are equipped to guide your loved ones through the process of winding up any trusts that you established so that your wishes can be carried out with ease and without court intervention.
