Trust and Estate Administration

Administering a trust or estate involves more than carrying out legal formalities—it requires careful attention to fiduciary duties, tax obligations, court requirements, and family dynamics. Our Trust & Estate Administration group provides comprehensive legal support to ensure that estates and trusts are administered efficiently, accurately, and in accordance with Colorado law.

Clientele

We represent fiduciaries such as personal representatives, trustees, executors, and agents, as well as individuals and families navigating the estate administration process. We also counsel beneficiaries who require independent representation in estates or trusts administered by others.

Strengths

Our attorneys assist fiduciaries with every step of the administration process, including probate court filings, asset distribution, beneficiary communications, and compliance with federal and state tax obligations. We advise on interactions with beneficiaries and their counsel, helping to minimize misunderstandings and disputes. With support from a skilled team of legal assistants, we deliver responsive and cost-effective services tailored to the unique needs of each estate or trust.
