Ohio Probate and Estate Administration Attorneys
Contact The DiCello Firm
Administration of a complex estate often involves numerous approaches, issues and special needs. Probate court is the fundamental vehicle for the transfer of assets. However, trusts that are managed completely apart from probate court also require attention. Meeting deadlines, notifying creditors and beneficiaries and identifying all assets are key components of the probate and estate administration process.
The DiCello Firm has years of experience handling probate and estate administration for people in the Mentor and Cleveland areas. To schedule a consultation regarding an Ohio probate and/or estate administration matter, contact our law offices by phone or e-mail.
Successfully administering a sophisticated estate often involves consultations with tax specialists to evaluate the costs and benefits of various estate planning tools such as testamentary trusts (trusts created by a will) and generation skipping trusts. The ultimate goal is also to successfully transfer wealth while minimizing disputes and tax liability.
Many people have come to believe that "probate" is a bad word, a concept and a process to avoid or dread. In fact, probate court provides beneficiaries with legal protections including time limits and the promise of eventual closure of the estate. Probate court helps ensure that fiduciaries (executors or representatives of estates) comply with their duties. The court is in fact a very effective "policing agency" that gives reassurance to heirs and beneficiaries and protects family assets from creditors.
