Estate Administration Services

I've acted as the fiduciary (Administrator/Guardian) in about 25 cases in Clermont County alone. I've gained the knowledge of  the best way to approach each situation, because each situation is different.

I've been asked to be the administrator on estates because it was too overwhelming for family members, because the applicant couldn't qualify to be bonded, or the estate was upside down due to a Medicaid lien.

Sometimes it just makes more sense to rely on someone that's done it before instead of trying to figure it all out for the first time yourself.

Real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, and a house full of personal property. It's a lot to take on. In addition to everything that can be visibly seen, each of those items need to be administered in compliance with the law. And administered in the proper order, and in a way that will be approved by the court. The administrator of an estate has what's called a Fiduciary Duty. This means that the administrator has taken an oath in the Probate Court to do things in the right way.  

My experience has allowed me to develop invaluable relationships in the areas of real estate evaluation and market assessment, utility and bill management, property cleanout, property storage, property repair, remodels, vehicle processing, in addition to the needs of the specific situation.

In rare circumstances, an estate can end up in litigation. When acting as the administrator of an estate, I am inserted as the integral party to the case. Being the Administrator allows me to best represent the estate as the individual with inside knowledge of that estate; therefore, providing the ability to give the estate proper representation.
