Trust Administration
The average person has little experience dealing with trusts and often has many questions upon becoming a trustee for the first time. In fact, many people have unreasonable expectations about the way living trusts work following a death. There is sometimes a notion that a living trust magically avoids all administrative expenses and chores. This is one of the most common myths surrounding living trusts.
Compared with probate, a living trust usually reduces the costs, delays, and work involved in administering a properly drafted estate plan. However, it does not eliminate them entirely. As your trust administration attorney, we will assist you in carrying out your trustee duties and assist you with the legal procedures that are required in carrying out this process.
If you are the Successor Trustee responsible for administering a living trust after the death of the Trust-Maker, there are many steps you need to take to administer and settle the living trust. In most cases, successor trustees are surviving family members with no prior experience in trust administration. Hiring an experienced trust administration attorney from the Law Offices of Robert E. Greeley is essential to preserving and protecting trust assets for beneficiaries.

Attorney Greeley was very professional. He was very clear about his service at the consultation. There were no surprises. We found him to be friendly, thorough, and engaging during the whole process. We felt very comfortable (he made sure of that from the very beginning) when we decided to go forward with him. He was readily available and responded immediately whenever we needed to talk to him. Attorney Greeley delivered and completed an excellent service! We highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in estate planning services. You will be elated!

Source: YelpWe recently selected Mr. Greeley for estate planning services that included creating a trust, property deed transfers, wills, healthcare directives, etc. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable, sensitively asking very clear and direct questions that facilitated the discussions necessary for good estate planning.
Mr. Greeley was very responsive throughout the process, following up with out-of-state agencies (we have assets in three states) when necessary in order to complete the process. He was always easy to reach, returning phone calls and emails promptly, and addressing concerns and/or questions quickly. We highly recommend his services.

He was very detailed and well organized. He was very patient with us and he went out of his way to explain things in simple terms, always available by phone or email. He even took a call on a Sunday night to answer all our questions. He followed up with us after the signing till the last deed was recorded and received. We highly recommend him!

Source: YelpMy husband and I recently had Robert prepare our living trust. He helped guide us through the process every step of the way. He did a thorough and professional job and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of estate planning. He was very prompt in completing the trust and helped advise us about subsequent steps we need to take upon its completion. He is now helping my elderly parents prepare their trust, and they are equally pleased with his guidance.
