what I do
estate administration
Estate administration is the focus of my practice. I have 25-plus years' experience settling estates in a wide variety of circumstances. Working cooperatively with executors and administrators, I assist in overcoming common and extraordinary challenges and roadblocks.
I am involved in the process as little or as much as the client wishes. Seeking to maximize economy, I do not charge a retainer, and bill in 1/10 hour increments.
In my most successful (and demonstrable upon request) cost-saving delivery ever, I once completely settled a $1.5M estate involving a revocable living trust for $400 in legal fees and $8 in court costs after a local firm made a written bid for its legal services at $30,000.
