Comprehensive Estate Administration
Our experienced attorneys are committed to standing by your side throughout the estate administration process. From the onset to the conclusion of estate administration, we deliver the necessary legal counsel and guidance to help you navigate the operation efficiently.
The initial step in the administration process is for the probate court to validate the decedent’s will. If no will exists, the probate court still governs the process. Once the will is verified, the executor named in the will is assigned to manage the decedent’s affairs. In the absence of a will, the court appoints a fiduciary.
Trusted Legal Representation for Toledo Residents
The fiduciary’s responsibilities include gathering the decedent’s assets, settling any outstanding debts, and possibly filing an estate tax return in Ohio. The fiduciary also ensures that assets are correctly distributed to the beneficiaries. At Heban, Murphree & Lewandowski, LLC, we recognize the enormity of the executor or fiduciary’s role.
