I represent trustees, executors, and individuals in various trust administration matters and 
probate proceedings. After the death of the truster (who is the person who created the trust), 
certain steps must be taken to comply with state law and to change title to assets. 
This is called "trust administration," and the complexity of the administration depends 
on the number and type of assets, their total value, and whether the trust includes tax 
planning provisions.

If a person dies without a trust, a probate action must be filed in the county where 
the decedent lived.
