Probate & Estate Administration
For many people, probate is a fearful thing. But, in most situations, it is a necessary process. For the clients of Julian Gray Associates, probate is not something to be feared, but a means by which the affairs of an estate can be wrapped up in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
Our firm handles all types of estate administration matters, including those for longtime clients as well as people whom we have never served before. We are also able to provide estate administration services for people living outside Pennsylvania, whose relatives have died leaving assets and property in the state.
An attorney can discuss your situation and explain what we can do for you. Julian Gray Associates provides customized estate administration services for estates of any size. Our estate administration services can range from complete, start-to-finish service to simply advising the executor on an issue-by-issue basis, and everything in between.
Our services or advice includes assistance marshalling the estate’s assets, arranging for the payment of debts and taxes, preparing tax returns and filing all necessary court documents.
Flexible And Affordable Fees
At Julian Gray Associates, we charge affordable probate fees, based on the amount of work in a case. These fees can be hourly or on a flat-fee basis, according to the needs of the executor.
Our extensive experience enables us to quickly resolve problems should they arise and complete the process in an efficient manner. We maintain the latest technology, including the ability to scan documents, store them electronically and prepare summary documents efficiently. These capabilities also reduce costs.
Avoiding Probate
With proper planning, it is possible to avoid unnecessary issues in probate. Julian Gray Associates is an experienced estate planning firm that can help you put in place the vehicles to do so. These can include revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, life insurance trusts and other options.
Some people have the misconception that to deal with estate administration matters, they must return to the same lawyer who drafted the will. This is not true. Julian Gray Associates can provide you with the advice and services you need to conclude all outstanding issues regarding an estate — in a fast, efficient and cost-effective manner.
