Estate Administration

Knowledge and Experience that is Multidimensional

An estate is typically administered by either an executor, who is the person named in the will to “execute” the will or an administrator is a person appointed by the probate court to administer the decedent’s estate when the decedent left no valid will. The administration of a decedent’s estate can be overwhelming and stressful; therefore, having a trusted attorney to help you navigate the rules and regulations of administering an estate in Maryland is critical.

McNamee Hosea’s estate administration attorneys have a breadth of knowledge and depth of experience that is multidimensional – one that ensures our estate planning goals are accomplished.   Our attorneys often serve as a trustee or a personal representative for our clients.  They are dedicated to serving the estate planning needs of all types of clients, including blended families, same-sex partners, individuals, business owners, executives, families with special needs children or high net-worth individuals.
