Estate Planning/Probate

Implementing your wishes during your lifetime and ensuring proper administration of our assets after your death.  

Estate Planning

Deskevich, Gavin & Harris represents and assists clients in preparing estate plans that ensure proper distribution of assets and estate tax liability planning. We routinely create estate planning documents to orderly and effectively manage assets during your life and transfer assets upon death. 

Our estate planning services include:

  • Wills
  • Trusts
  • Powers of attorney
  • Advance Medical Directives and medical powers of attorney
  • Transfer on death deeds

Probate

Our attorneys assist executors, trustees and other personal representatives with probate and other estate administration matters, including preparation of all required court filings and accountings before the commissioners of accounts. Family members and beneficiaries also trust us to ensure appropriate management and distribution of assets from estates, trusts, and non-probate transfers.  We are often recommended as fiduciaries or substitute fiduciaries by Commissioners of Accounts to handle guardianships, conservatorships and complicated or otherwise mishandled estates and trusts.
