After the passing of a loved one, the many tasks of settling an estate can be daunting, whether you’re an executor, a trustee or simply a bereaved family member. Even the best-planned estate or best-designed trust usually requires professional service to bring about an efficient and cost-effective transfer of assets that meets the needs of heirs and beneficiaries while satisfying the reporting requirements of federal and state tax authorities. And many estates or trusts have not been structured optimally and kept fully up to date.

A professionally managed estate settlement or trust administration will enable heirs and beneficiaries to maintain or quickly gain access to assets. Bazar & Associates can guide you, taking charge of as much of the process as you’re comfortable with.
