Birmingham Wills and Trusts Attorneys
If you have been named the executor or trustee of an estate, you may already be aware that administering an estate is a daunting task. An executor has a number of fiduciary duties. The failure to comply with these obligations can lead to litigation and personal liability. An attorney can be instrumental in helping you complete your duties in accordance with the applicable laws. The Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Freeman offers a full range of estate administration and estate planning services. We represent individuals and families across Southwest Michigan and beyond.
