Probate & Trust Administration

Oklahoma City Trust Administration Lawyers

When a person dies with an estate plan based on a Living Trust, the trust must be administered. The Trustee of the trust must collect what is owed to the decedent, pay the decedent's bills, safeguard the decedent's assets until they are distributed to the decedent's beneficiaries, and file appropriate income and estate tax returns for the decedent and his or her estate.

To the extent that a decedent's assets are not in his or her Living Trust, probate is required for those assets.

Estates and trusts vary in size and complexity. There may be post-mortem tax planning issues, tax obligations, asset valuation decisions, and even succession plans in place for the family business.
