Estate Planning

Personalized estate plans that define your legacy.

At Hughes Law LLC, we believe that successful estate planning entails more than just signing a few papers. You've worked your entire life to build your estate; why not take the time to safeguard it? A solid estate plan helps protect your loved ones from the difficulties and expenditures associated with the probate court. A properly constructed strategy will give clear and straightforward guidance once you have passed, in addition to saving time and money.

Trust Administration

Trust administration involves responsibilities associated with maintaining a trust's assets, disbursements, and filings. The duties are often tricky and time-sensitive. Depending on the requirements, the process of operating a trust may include requesting legal, financial, and other administrative assistance. Making necessary filings following the trustor's death and paying off the trust's financial liabilities are additional aspects of trust management.

Our trust administration services include but are not limited to:

• Managing complicated personal and charitable trusts
• Advising on the appointment of trustees and trust protectors
• Accounting for trust activity
• Advising fiduciaries on the investment and distribution of trust assets
• Ensuring compliance with state and federal law, including tax filings
