Professional Guidance Through
Probate or Trust Administration
Legacy Elder Law Center will handle your estate/trust administration with scrupulous professionalism.
Whether you have been designated to handle the affairs of an individual who has died, or you are managing the assets of a trust for the benefit of certain individuals or charities, the laws of every state require you to fulfill your duties as a “fiduciary.”
A fiduciary is bound to faithfully administer the trust placed in him or her and failure to do so can result in personal liability to estate or trust beneficiaries or even the court.
Probate & Estate Administration
Probate is the court-supervised process for distributing someone’s estate after they pass away. Even if there is a will, probate is usually required in Virginia and surrounding areas.

At best, the fiduciary trust experience can be tedious and extremely time consuming. At worst, it can be downright confounding. When the individual must also deal with strong emotions and the ordinary pressures of everyday life, it can be difficult to muster the personal resources, time, and energy to do the job correctly. Those who are dependent upon the fiduciary may be dealing with their own strong emotions and may hold their own notions about how fast and how thoroughly the estate or trust will be handled.
Turning the estate or trust over to the Legacy Elder Law Center for administration ensures that it will be handled with scrupulous professionalism. You can focus on the personal issues that are important and leave the details, tedium, and navigation of the process in capable hands.
