What Is Trust & Estate Administration?

Trust & estate administration is the process of:

Carrying out your instructions after death or incapacity
Managing assets held in trust
Distributing property to beneficiaries
Handling taxes, debts, and legal notifications
Ensuring all documents and deadlines are properly followed

Done right, it helps avoid unnecessary probate, delays, and disputes. Done poorly—or without guidance—it can cause confusion, legal issues, and family stress.

We Help Trustees, Executors, and Family Members Navigate the Process

If you’ve been named as a trustee, executor, or personal representative, you’ve been given a serious responsibility—and it’s one you don’t have to face alone.

I’ll walk you through:

Understanding your duties under Arkansas law

Keeping accurate records and timelines

Filing necessary documents

Communicating with beneficiaries

Making tax elections and managing distributions

Avoiding personal liability for honest mistakes

This is a time when families are grieving, healing, and trying to make sense of what’s next. I make sure you have the legal support you need to move forward with confidence and compassion.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

In my career, I’ve seen how missteps in trust and estate administration can lead to expensive court cases—even when everyone means well. Common issues include:

• Not understanding deadlines or reporting requirements
• Failing to transfer title correctly
• Conflicts between siblings or beneficiaries
• Missing tax deadlines
• Accidental misuse of trust funds

That’s why I focus on preventative guidance, not just fixing problems after they happen.

Your Plan Should Come with a Guidebook—Not Just a Binder

When we create your estate plan, I don’t just hand you documents. I ensure the people who will carry out your wishes understand what’s expected—and that they can reach out to me when the time comes.

If you already have a plan and just need help with the administration process, I’m here to support you and your family through it all.
