There are numerous steps involved in the settling an estate, and you can count on us to be at your side at every step:

We will guide you in the process of becoming appointed as administrator of the estate, as well as in the various duties involved in settling the estate.

Our firm is frequently called upon to help clients identify and locate missing heirs. We have extensive experience locating missing heirs locally, nationally and internationally. We have access to a world wide network of genealogists to locate family members and establish family links through the analysis of birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates and other legal documents.
