The Challenges of Managing Someone Else’s Estate or Financial Affairs

We all live busy lives. Finding extra time to serve as a trustee, executor, or conservator can be overwhelming. Managing or winding up a loved one’s affairs can be time-consuming, emotionally draining and potentially full of personal financial risk.

Inventorying and marshaling all assets
Seeking and obtaining advice on tax, legal and financial matters
Understanding your fiduciary duties and how to perform certain tasks
Assuming personal liability for every decision
Dealing with emotional strain from handling family demands and complaints

What Our Clients are Saying

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Darrell Claridge on a complicated trust administration. Darrell was proactive and hands-on in all of the trust’s affairs. His communication and responsiveness allowed him to complete the administration in a very timely manner. Most administrations of this size and complexity would easily take 15 months. I would highly recommend Darrell to other estate attorneys looking for a professional fiduciary.”
