Trust & Probate Administration
Guidance and Clarity During the Most Difficult Times
Navigating the legal landscape after the loss of a loved one can be immensely overwhelming. The responsibilities of a trustee or personal representative (executor) are significant, requiring meticulous attention to legal deadlines, fiduciary duties, and complex administrative tasks. At Visoria Stamm, we provide clear, compassionate, and efficient legal support to fiduciaries and beneficiaries, helping you honor your loved one’s wishes while protecting you from personal liability.
With experience serving clients and administering estates and trusts across Oregon, Washington, Florida, and Colorado, our team has a comprehensive understanding of the different probate codes and trust laws in each jurisdiction. We guide our clients through every step of the process with precision and care.
Our Administration Services Include:
Trust Administration: We advise trustees on their duties, including inventorying assets, notifying beneficiaries, managing trust investments, paying debts and expenses, filing tax returns, and distributing assets in accordance with the trust's terms. Our goal is to make the process as seamless and conflict-free as possible.
Probate Administration: If a loved one passed away with a will (or without one), we guide personal representatives through the court-supervised probate process. This includes filing the initial petition, marshalling assets, navigating creditor claims, and ensuring a proper and timely closing of the estate.
Fiduciary Representation: We provide robust legal counsel to trustees and personal representatives to ensure they are fulfilling all of their legal obligations, thereby minimizing the risk of disputes or litigation.
Beneficiary Representation: We also advocate for beneficiaries to ensure their rights are protected and that the estate or trust is being administered properly and fairly by the fiduciary.
