Probate and Estate Administration Process
Hans M. Tinkler is a trusted Fort Thomas lawyer who has helped countless families through the process of administering a loved one's estate. Estate administration includes the gathering of a person's assets after death (life insurance policies, annuities and other assets), determining which assets are probate assets versus non-probate assets, paying off any creditors, filing estate taxes and distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries in accordance with the will or intestate laws if there was not a will.
We also handle delicate issues involving the coordination of executors and beneficiaries, tax considerations and probate disputes.
