Colorado Elder Law: Estate & Trust Administration

At Chayet & Danzo, LLC, we offer estate and trust administration services to personal representatives, trustees, beneficiaries, and creditors of an estate. If you have lost a loved one, an attorney from our firm will be sensitive to your personal and legal needs as we handle the final affairs of your loved one's estate. Our lawyers are fluent in the complexities of Colorado probate laws, estate taxes, and other issues that often arise during estate and trust administration.

In Colorado, a personal representative is nominated during the process of drafting a will. If you have been named the personal representative of your loved one's estate, you have been given an important responsibility. Our attorneys provide advice and counsel as we assist you with these responsibilities, including:

• Collecting the decedent's assets
• Paying debts and taxes
• Distributing the remaining assets to the named beneficiaries

Our lawyers handle the administration of both probate and non probate assets, including assets held in trusts. We often represent individuals who have been named trustees to an estate. Trustees have many obligations to fulfill including distributing assets to beneficiaries, maintaining accurate accounting logs, and paying taxes on behalf of the estate.

Our lawyers also handle any litigation that may arise during the course of estate and trust administration, including will contests, creditor claims, and breach of duty actions against personal representatives, trustees, and others with fiduciary responsibility.
