Executors, Trustees, Heirs And Beneficiaries

As an executor, administrator, heir or beneficiary you may be confused by the probate process. It is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed. Executors and administrators need to keep the probate moving forward as the beneficiaries demand their money, taxes have to be paid and creditors try to put claims on the estate. Heirs and beneficiaries want to be kept informed and want a quick conclusion to probate while executors and administrators drag out the probate. Trustees need to manage money, fend off creditors, and deal with tax issues while beneficiaries make demands for money. Beneficiaries wonder why they can’t get the information they deserve and why a process they were told would be quick just doesn’t seem to end.

The Law Offices of Michael D. Iverson, APC. can help you whether you are a trustee, executor, administrator, heir or beneficiary. We focus on probate and trust administration.

Any attorney can draft a legal document, but it takes extensive knowledge and skills to create one that is effective. We have that experience.

Heirs

Sometimes heirs do not receive their rightful inheritance. If you believe you did not receive the amount in which you were entitled, you need to take immediate action. Waiting to contest the will or trust could prohibit you from collecting your full inheritance. We regularly represent sons, daughters, and all beneficiaries in will contests and trust litigation.

As you decide how you want your assets distributed upon your death, there are certain steps you can take to protect your heirs and preserve your estate. Effective estate planning encompasses trusts, disability protection, and estate tax planning techniques. Many parents also want to protect their kids’ inheritance from the threat of divorce, lawsuits, and bankruptcy. We can assist you with the creation of an asset protection plan to shelter your assets from litigation and potential creditors.
