Probate And Trust Administration Creates Fiduciary Responsibilities

Our lawyers represent trustees and personal representatives. These are important roles to carry out. They can help you avoid breaching your fiduciary responsibilities and complete the often-difficult task of collecting assets and communicating with beneficiaries. Our attorneys have the experience to assist you with probate and trust administration duties.

Comprehensive Estate Planning Services

There has been a dramatic change in the composition of U.S. households. Married couples constituted nearly 80% of households in the 1950s, but that group has recently dipped below 50%. The fastest growing segment in our population is unmarried, heterosexual couples, either with or without children. Without durable powers of attorney, unmarried couples have no authority to act for each other or obtain medical information regarding the other. In the event of death without a will or trust, the household companion does not have any claim on the deceased companion’s assets.

At Delzer, Coulter & Bell, P.A., our focus is to provide legal advice to accomplish a client’s objectives, rather than simply preparing estate planning documents requested by clients. Regardless of your family structure, our legal advice focuses not only on advising how your needs and objectives may be accomplished through estate planning documents, but also on utilizing asset ownership and beneficiary designation options that sometimes can be accomplished without expense to achieve a more favorable outcome. When appropriate, we can help establish special needs trusts for disabled adults and pet trusts for beloved animals, as well as draft strategic tax planning and business succession planning documents that address your individual circumstances.
