Guidance Through Estate and Trust Administration
Losing a loved one often brings both emotional and legal challenges. The Tribuiani Law Firm assists personal representatives, trustees, beneficiaries, and families through every stage of the probate and trust administration process. We provide practical guidance designed to efficiently administer estates and trusts while protecting the rights and interests of those involved.
Probate Administration
Probate administration is the court-supervised process of gathering a deceased person's assets, paying valid debts and expenses, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries. In Florida, personal representatives are generally required by law to be represented by an attorney throughout the probate process.
Our firm assists with probate administration matters including:
- Formal Administration
- Summary Administration
- Ancillary Administration
- Estate asset identification and collection
- Creditor claims and debt resolution
- Beneficiary distributions
- Homestead and exempt property issues
- Elective share and family allowance matters
Trust Administration
Trust administration is similar to probate administration, but generally occurs without ongoing court supervision. Trustees have important fiduciary responsibilities and must administer trust assets in accordance with the terms of the trust agreement and applicable law.
We advise trustees and beneficiaries regarding:
- Trust administration and compliance
- Trustee duties and fiduciary responsibilities
- Formal and informal accountings
- Trust distributions
- Beneficiary rights
- Trust interpretation issues
