Trust Administration: After a person dies (of even when he/she is incapacitated), the assets in a trust need to be managed and then distributed upon death. This process is called trust administration.
Probate Administration: When there is no trust, or when a trust is not funded, this court process allows for distribution of assets at death and admission of the will in court.

Guardian Ad Litem: Many times, an incapacitated person who is also elderly has rights to claims in lawsuits. Our Guardian Ad Litem can help protect the disabled in lawsuits.
Financial Elder Abuse Law: Since 1993, our lawyers have helped thousands of people protect themselves against Financial Elder Abuse. Abuse of elders is unfortunately very common and many times connected to a probate estate by litigation. We help recover assets of elderly in probate and civil court where the assets have been taken by another person, or used for a wrongful purpose. Financial abuse of elders is also often litigated in estates and wills contests.
