Estate Administration
Estate Administration encompasses both Probate and Trust Administration, including Fiduciary Counsel to those serving as Executor or Trustee.
Probate Counsel
Mata & Hill PLC represents Executors and Administrators of estates, as well as beneficiaries and heirs.
Trust Administration
Trusts are often used as private alternatives to the probate process, but trustees and beneficiaries still require legal counsel to ensure their own protection from liability and to enforce their rights under the Trust Agreement.
Fiduciary Services
Mata & Hill PLC can also serve as a Personal Representative of an Estate or as a Trustee if clients prefer having a professional administer their estate to achieve their estate planning objectives in a neutral and objective manner. For our rates, please see our current fiduciary fee schedule.
Probate or Trust Disputes & Litigation
Even the best-planned estates can be subject to disputes. Will-contests, breach of fiduciary duties by a personal representative or trustee, and aid and direction concerning ambiguities are just some of the potential conflicts for which we can provide counsel.
