Generally speaking, people believe that in order to settle an estate, they must first lay out large sums of money and retain an attorney. What many people are not aware of, however, is the need for an attorney is not always necessary when it comes to settling the estate of a loved one. The reason for this is most estate settlement work is actually administrative in nature and does not require hiring a lawyer and shelling out high hourly rates.

It is not uncommon for an Executor to spend upward of 500 hours over 12-16 months following a loss to settle an estate. Part of our process includes helping determine if you will need an attorney to settle the estate and to settle the state at a fraction of the cost.

Trustate will help you understand the responsibilities of serving as Executor of an estate and walk you through the entire process. Our goal as a company is to reduce this burden on you from both a time and expense standpoint. Our guide goes into great detail about what your responsibilities will include as well as provides a sense of the types of decisions you will be faced with making.
