Estate Administration Attorney

Estate Administration Attorney East Greenwich, RI

After someone passes away, their estate must be administered. This is the process by which the assets of the deceased are distributed. If they did not leave behind any instructions for how they want their estate to be handled, then there are default rules for that state which must be followed. Our East Greenwich, RI estate administration attorney understands that it can be difficult to navigate the aftermath of a loved one’s passing. At Aptt Law LLC, Attorney Geoffrey M. Aptt can guide you through the steps of estate administration so you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out today for support.

How We Can Help Administer Estate

The first step in administering an estate is determining what responsibilities you will have in the coming months. Were you appointed as personal representative or executor of the deceased’s will, or trustee? To perform the duties you need to in this role, you have to understand what is expected of you, which Aptt Law LLC can help you with.

Keep in mind that if you were chosen as executor of the estate, you do not have to accept the role. The choice is yours to make. If you decide to not be the executor, the court will appoint another person to carry out the responsibilities if a replacement is not identified in the deceased’s will. If you have questions about the tasks involved with administering an estate, contact us so we can help. Our East Greenwich estate administration attorney can guide you and make the administration process less overwhelming for you

Aptt, you can reduce the duration, but certain aspects of the administration will take time. Having to dig into the private details of your loved one’s life can be emotional for many.

He’s honest, hardworking, smart, and willing to bring in experts when needed, which isn’t often. He is certainly one of the first people that come to mind when I need legal assistance of any sort, especially in business, trusts, and estate matters. Top notch and a down to earth straight shooter.

  Geoffrey is extremely professional and accommodating. He stated a price within the first 15 minutes of meeting us to ensure that we were aware of what to expect and explained all aspects of our paperwork clearly. Geoffrey also made arrangements to work around our schedule. I would gladly recommend him to anyone seeking an estate lawyer.

  Geoff and his paralegal were both amazing in guiding my wife and I through our trust journey. I feel they truly cared about our children's future as they laid out our options in great detail, and they made sure the things we decided on paper met our fullest intent. Even as we made changes right upto signing the final product.
