With our estate administration legal services, we help trustees and estate administrators marshal and distribute assets in a cost-efficient way that preserves assets for the intended parties.

Sometimes people pass away without proper estate planning, or their will may be out-of-date, incomplete, or inadequate. Many individuals who prepare their own wills or trust documents end up with unintended consequences and family chaos.  Saving a few hundred dollars up front can cost many thousands later, and worse, can result in a totally unexpected and unacceptable distribution of estate assets.  Probate litigation can be complex and fraught with emotional frustration. Our experiences help us cut through legal entanglements to resolve many probate disputes without litigation. However, when something needs to be settled in the courtroom, we have plenty of litigation experience to get results.

We believe that every family needs estate planning in order to plan for their family or funds after death.  You also need to plan for your possible disability or incapacity.  Nominating a guardian to care for your minor children is important even if you do not have a significant estate.  If you need estate planning and estate administration services for yourself, or for your parents or extended family, Contact the Charleston estate planning attorney at Karen S. Hindson PC.  We can help you develop a plan to give you peace of mind.
