Pierro, Connor & Strauss, LLC can help people living in communities around Albany and New York City with services relating to estate and trust administration and litigation.
Estate and Trust Administration falls into four basic categories:
-
Administration of Assets Passing Under Wills: If you are an executor or a beneficiary of a Will, we will help you determine the assets and debts of the estate, navigate your way through the court system and determine how to effect distribution of the estate.
-
Administration of Estates Without Wills: If you are eligible to serve as an administrator or to receive assets of an estate without a Will, we will help you navigate your way through the court system, determine who the beneficiaries are and how the assets must be distributed under NY law.
-
Trust Administration: If you are a trustee or beneficiary of a trust, we will help you determine your rights and obligations under the terms of the trust and NY law.
-
Tax Advice: Regardless of what form of administration is required we will provide you with the tax advice you need to best meet your objectives.
