AREAS OF PRACTICE

TRUSTEE/TRUST MANAGEMENT: Whether private or court-appointed, the trustee is bound by the terms of the trust. The trustee must administer the trust and safeguard the assets by making prudent decisions regarding investments, real estate, and all other assets while maintaining an open line of communication and reporting with the beneficiaries.

EXECUTOR/ESTATE ADMINISTRATOR: Named or nominated to carry out the terms of a will, including dispensing or disposing of assets, settling debts, paying creditors, and filing taxes.

PROBATE ADMINISTRATOR: Appointed by the court to marshal, protect, and disburse a deceased person’s assets without a will or a trust.

CONSERVATOR OF THE ESTATE: Appointed by Probate Court, the COE is empowered to manage the financial affairs of someone deemed legally incapable of doing this for themselves. Responsibilities include marshaling all assets, prudent management of investments, real estate management, maintaining insurances, and periodic accounting to the court that oversees the conservatorship.

CONSERVATOR OF THE PERSON: Appointed and overseen by the Probate Court, the COP manages the living situation and medical care for a person deemed mentally incapable of caring for themselves. The COP advocates on behalf of the conservatee, seeking the least restrictive and safest living options, and is often given the power to make medical and end-of-life decisions in keeping with the conservatee’s religious background and personal beliefs.

AGENCY UNDER POWER OF ATTORNEY: Authorization to represent or act on another’s behalf in private, business, or legal affairs.

REPRESENTATIVE PAYEE: Receiver of payments by government agencies such as Social Security and VA Benefits on behalf of a person incapable of managing their own finances.

FINANCIAL ORGANIZATION/CONSULTING: Preparation and analysis of financials in family and estate legal matters prior to court submissions and resolution conferences, often forestalling the need for full forensic accountant review.
