Avoid Trouble In Trust Administration

If your loved one established a trust with you as a trustee, you are already ahead of the game when it comes to estate administration. It is imperative that you have experienced legal counsel guiding you through the administration to avoid probate court. Even if assets are not properly funded into a trust, we may be able to limit or potentially avoid probate court.

Your Responsibilities May Seem Straightforward, But In Fact, You Need A Lawyer’s Guidance

Acting as a trustee is generally a smoother process than taking an estate through probate court. However, there are many potential pitfalls. To ensure that you do not make a mistake or expose yourself to claims of negligence by other beneficiaries of the estate, consult with an experienced and knowledgeable firm. At the Gostanian Law Group, PC, in Newport Beach, we are ready to guide you in a clear and timely manner in your role as trustee.

The Gostanian Law Group, PC, will help you:

• Understand and carry out your duties as a trustee.
