Trust Administration

The Farr Law Firm's trust administration attorneys are knowledgeable and experienced in guiding clients and trustees through all aspects of trust administration.   Farr trust lawyers counsel clients in preparing trusts in order to avoid or minimize probate; to reduce estate taxes; and to reduce the costs and time for administering their assets upon death. 

Assisting Trustees / Fiduciaries

Being selected as a trustee can become a very overwhelming task.  There are many obligations that the trustee must handle, such as managing the assets of the trust, paying off the decedent’s debts and taxes, preparing accountings and estate tax returns, filing necessary tax returns and making the proper distributions to beneficiaries.  The attorneys at the Farr Law Firm counsel and assist trustees in fulfilling their fiduciary duties as well as complying with all federal, state and local laws. 

Dealing with Trust Claims, Disputes, and Lawsuits

There are occasions when controversies and disputes arise regarding trusts, and lawsuits become a possibility.  At Farr, trust attorneys recognize that issues can arise during the course of administering an estate which can require the counsel and advice of Farr’s experienced trial lawyers.  These trust litigation attorneys are skilled in resolving these trust disputes – before or after a lawsuit is filed – either through alternative dispute resolution or probate litigation.
