Everyone needs an estate plan. At Stephan Passalacqua law, we use our expertise to help you develop a plan to protect your assets and provide for your loved ones. Through legal documents like wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and more, you can arrange for the management and distribution of your assets in the event of your death or incapacitation.

02 — Probate & Trust Administration

Some wills go through the court supervised process of probate before their assets can be distributed. Probate can be a lengthy and complex affair involving validating a will, identifying and gathering assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing remaining assets to heirs.

Trust administration on the other hand, involves managing the assets of the trust and distributing them according to the trust’s terms. At Stephan Passalacqua Law, we have extensive experience in probate and trust administration and are committed to providing our clients with compassionate, personalized, and efficient legal representation.
