The law of inheritance comes into play when a relative dies. As a surviving dependant, you will have to deal with inheritance law whether you like it or not. Sadly, winding up the estate of a deceased person sometimes leads to conflicts among the heirs. This is an emotional time for all those involved, and we will be glad to help you during this difficult period.

What can we do for you?
Our lawyers stand ready with expert advice, whether the problem involves donations made in the past, gifts, one of the heirs taking over a family business or another dispute involving an inheritance.

All assets held by the decedent at the time of his or her passing must be transferred to the estate, a trust, or an individual beneficiary.

If the decedent died with an estate valued in excess of the federal estate tax exemption amount, a federal estate tax return is required to be filed. Alternatively, if the decedent is survived by his or her spouse, it may be advantageous to file a federal estate tax return to elect portability to permit the surviving spouse to use the unused amount of the decedent’s federal estate tax exemption. If the decedent died in a state with an estate tax, a state estate tax return may also be required. Greg Perrow and Edward Legal Solution is well-versed in the preparation of estate tax returns.

Retirement accounts are a popular source of savings for most individuals. As a result, the survivors of the decedent are often faced with filing claims to receive the remaining retirement benefits in such accounts. If the decedent named a beneficiary on the retirement account, those proceeds pass outside of the probate proceedings. If the estate is the named beneficiary or if no beneficiary is designated, the retirement account is subject to probate.

As part of the estate administration, Greg Perrow and Edward Legal Solution prepares retirement account claims on behalf of the beneficiaries or the estate, ensuring that the funds are properly transferred.

The spouse or child of the decedent may be eligible for Social Security survivor benefits depending on the number of years worked by the decedent.

Additionally, the spouse or child of the decedent may be eligible for a special death benefit in addition to the survivor benefits. Due to the constraints and limitations impacting Social Security survivor benefits, the process of determining the survivor’s benefits and applying for such can be complex.
