DRAFTING WILL, TRUSTS, and OTHER TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS

PROBATE and TRUST ADMINISTRATION
Estate planning also involves the administration of trusts and estates after the implementation of your estate plan. Executors, Trustees, Guardians, and Conservators are all subject to a fiduciary duty, or strict standards of conduct in carrying out your estate plan. Our experienced attorneys and staff are qualified to assist executors, trustees and other fiduciaries in understanding their duties, the terms of a will or trust, and compliance with probate court procedures. The Estate Planning attorneys of Cramer & Anderson provide a full array of services to continue a plan already in progress.
ASSISTING IN PROBATE and WILL DISPUTES
With our team approach, we are highly qualified to assist family members in probate and will disputes, whether dealing with the implementation of an estate plan or a particular fiduciary’s conduct in carrying out that plan. Our probate lawyers understand how to create and put into practice an effective estate plan, which makes us well suited to defending and proceeding against a questionable one. If you are an Executor or Trustee whose estate or trust is being contested or if your conduct as a fiduciary is being challenged, we can help. If you think a family member was the subject of undue influence or lacked the capacity to execute an estate plan, let us know.
