Probate and Trust Administration
We understand that the
loss of a loved one can be overwhelming. To assist you in your capacity as
personal representative or trustee during life’s challenging times, Sacks
Tierney's probate and trust administration attorneys can guide you through the
legal process, protect your rights, and advise you regarding your
responsibilities under Arizona law.
Sacks Tierney's probate
and trust administration attorneys represent both Arizona residents and
non-residents who have been nominated to serve as the personal representative of
an estate, the trustee of a trust or to serve in any other fiduciary capacity.
We can assist you in interpreting the relevant estate planning documents,
determining the necessity of a probate proceeding, notifying creditors and
coordinating the distribution of assets to family members. We can inform you of
the duties which may be imposed upon you by Arizona law and assist you in
fulfilling those duties in order to minimize your exposure to potential
liability.
We also assist
individuals who may have a beneficial interest in a decedent's estate and/or
trust. Once we have had an opportunity to review the estate planning documents
in place and learn more about your family dynamics, we can provide you with a
valuable roadmap of the probate and trust administration process, inform you of
the nature of your beneficial interest and assist you in obtaining the assets to
which you may be entitled. We stand ready to serve as an advocate on your
behalf.
