Probate Administration

Probate is a process  that validates a will (if one exists), pays debts and distributes a deceased person's assets. During this court-supervised process, the estate administrator or executor handles the financial and tax issues, inventories all assets and investments, and makes the necessary distributions to the beneficiaries. 

The probate process can be difficult to navigate alone and the Law Offices of Christine Chung will help to ease the stress and confusion during the probate process. We provide legal guidance and the assistance you need as an estate administrator, executor, or beneficiary. When a family members dies, we understand that this can be a very difficult time and we will make significant effort to prevent conflicts among family members and preserve family relationships. 

We provide comprehensive guidance for all aspects of probate, including:


  • Distribution of assets to intended heirs
  • Liquidation of assets
  • Reviewing real estate sales and listing agreements
  • Estate tax returns
  • Income tax and property tax matters
  • Retirement plans and IRA issues

Trust Administration 
​
Trust administration is a process administrating an estate when someone passes away with a trust. As a Trustee, you have a fiduciary duty to administer the estate properly and timely.  There are important steps to take such as identifying and gathering all of the assets; paying debts, taxes and final expenses; notify various government and institutions; and distributing the assets according to the terms of the trust.

Managing the estate after a loved one passes away can be overwhelming and highly emotional. But it’s very important that the necessary steps are taken, and you, as the Trustee, should not have to go through the process alone. At the Law Offices of Christine Chung, we help to ease the burden as much as possible and help navigate through the administration process from beginning to the final distribution of assets to the beneficiaries. ​
