If you have been named as an executor, administrator, or personal representative of the estate of a loved one, you want an experienced attorney to help you through the probate process. You most likely want to settle the estate in a timely manner and have the confidence that the assets of the estate have been distributed according to the decedents wishes. If you are the trustee of a trust, you want an experienced lawyer to provide guidance, so that you minimize or avoid disputes over the administration of the trust and the distribution of assets.
At the law office of Tiesenga & DeBoer LLP, we bring over a century of combined experience to individuals throughout the Chicago Metro area, providing comprehensive legal representation in matters related to probate and trust administration. We emphasize accessibility and responsiveness to provide timely resolutions to your legal concerns. For a consultation, contact us online or call our office at 630-645-9881.
We handle all the requirements to take your estate through the probate process, preparing and filing the documents necessary to initiate probate and acting as your advocate in all proceedings with the probate court. We will help you prepare an accounting of the assets of the estate, obtain valuations of property (when necessary), and ensure the payment of all final debts and taxes of the estate, including income, estate, and gift taxes. Our attorneys will also help you oversee the orderly distribution of the assets of the estate per the terms of the will.
If you have been given the responsibility to oversee and administer long-term trusts, we can help ensure that you comply with the provisions of the trust and help you handle all required submissions, including tax returns or filings. We attempt to make sure the concerns of all interested parties are heard. However, we work even harder to facilitate the smooth administration of long-term trusts so that you can minimize the likelihood of conflict.
