What Does An Estate Administration Attorney Do?

When a person dies, his or her assets must be collected, managed, and distributed.  Typically an Administrator or Executor needs to be appointed to perform these tasks. An estate administration attorney will represent a client to obtain his or her appointment as Administrator or Executor.

The estate administration attorney will then continue to represent the Executor or Administrator with respect to such duties as collecting assets and obtaining appraisals as required, filing inventories in a timely manner; paying creditors; filing estate and income tax returns and paying taxes, if any; distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries and finally closing the estate by filing a final account.

I have many years of experience as an estate administration attorney. I have represented many clients in matters of probate, fiduciary appointment and estate administration.  I work closely with my clients to efficiently perform and complete the entire estate administration process. I graduated in the top 10% of my class at The New England School of Law in Boston and served on the prestigious “Law Review.” I have been an attorney at law in my own law practice in New York City since 1985.
