Estates
A complete estate plan can make the process easier at a difficult time. The team at Brenda Leigh Bell Law is ready to assist you with any estate planning needs.
Issues Of Immediate concern for Estates
The funeral home will often assist with government filings and will provide you with multiple death certificates. It is important to locate Wills and Codicils to find out who is appointed to look after the estate, and who the beneficiaries are who will inherit assets from the estate. It is also important to obtain details about bank accounts, safety deposit boxes, investments, life insurance policies, pensions, and debts of the deceased. Collecting personal information about the deceased is necessary and collecting information regarding the next of kin (even a family tree) and particularly beneficiaries’ birthdates, and contact information is also required.

Administering The Estate
Do not hesitate to contact a lawyer, funeral home representative, accountant/tax filing person, financial planner/banker/insurance agents, and/or real estate agents (as necessary) to get assistance at any stage. They will help make this an easier process at a difficult time. It is encouraged for the Trustee and family to contact a lawyer to determine how to proceed and make the process easier to understand.
