Probate, Trust & TEDRA

Probate Administration. Navigating the complexities of probate administration can be daunting, especially during times of grief. We offer compassionate and efficient probate administration services to guide you through the process with ease — from filing necessary court documents to managing estate assets and resolving disputes, handled with professionalism and sensitivity.

Trust Administration. Trust administration requires meticulous attention to detail and a thorough understanding of fiduciary responsibilities. From asset management and distribution to tax planning and compliance, our team ensures that trusts are administered efficiently and in accordance with the grantor's wishes and applicable laws.

Probate, Trust & Estate Disputes. In Washington, the Trust and Estate Dispute Resolution Act (“TEDRA”) gives us one of the best tools available for resolving disputes regarding a probate, trust, or estate. Our firm specializes in TEDRA litigation — whether you're facing challenges related to the interpretation of a trust document, disagreements among beneficiaries, or allegations of breach of fiduciary duty.

Our attorneys have litigated and settled numerous cases in Superior Court, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court of the State of Washington — sometimes recovering substantial costs and attorneys' fees from the “bad actors” in a dispute, saving the estate and unsuspecting beneficiaries from paying the price of another's bad acts.

Because litigation can be costly, time-consuming, and emotionally draining, our firm emphasizes mediation and other alternative dispute resolution methods whenever possible. Our attorneys are trained mediators and skilled negotiators, helping clients avoid protracted litigation, preserve family relationships, and achieve resolutions that meet their needs.
