Estate Administration and Will, Estate and Trust Disputes

Administering an Estate

Regardless of how simple and straightforward an estate may at first appear, the steps involved at all stages of administration are fraught with potential risks and personal liabilities as the executors are held to high standard, and often do not have the requisite experience and knowledge to avoid the pitfalls and reduce the risks. 

Gill & Mulholland LLP can assist executors with respect to all aspects of the administration of the estate from beginning to end. 

Having access to a trusted and experienced advisor will help to lift some of the pressures and anxieties associated with what can be an otherwise daunting task.
