The estate administration practice of Backes & Backes relies on a team of experienced attorneys, paralegals, and outside fiduciary accountants. The firm works with executors and administrators to facilitate smooth, speedy, and responsible administration of decedent’s estates.

While first seeking to insure the effective realization of the decedent’s intent, the firm always considers tax strategies to maximize the preservation of assets.

Estate administration is often far more complex than an executor or administrator may realize. In addition to the risk of failing to meet the wishes of the deceased, the executor or administrator may risk personal liability if their fiduciary duties are not performed properly. Competent counsel will greatly reduce the burden of the administration and will insure that all of the duties of the executor or administrator are properly met.
