About Advocate Estate & Fiduciary LLC
One of life's most traumatic events for any of us can be when someone dies whom we loved.
A flood of emotions, despair, and confusion is not unusual. And when a surviving spouse, partner, family member, friend or acquaintance additionally inherits the duty of addressing the decedent's final affairs and legal matters, the experience can become especially challenging even overwhelming.
Many who have not previously had the experience of being an Executor, Executrix, Trustee or Personal Representative can find being one to be a time-consuming, frustrating experience with a steep learning curve. AE&F steps in to help survivors and representatives navigate through the administrative and legal processes necessary to address what should be done, what needs to be done and what has to be done right away, making life simpler and less burdensome for surviving family and friends allowing them instead time to focus more on their own grief, each other and their own family and obligations.
And while AE&F can take charge or support family while coordinating with their attorney and other professionals to take care of business, they typically do so with less cost and time required from family than when matters are handled in the traditional manners of taking on tasks themselves or asking a more expensive legal professional to take care of everything. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" has never been so true than in the things a person can do to greatly reduce the burden on others tasked with taking care of their final affairs.
If you have procrastinated and this key task is not done yet, AE&F can help put together your own unique FAMILY GUIDE, a collection of your important information and key documents which can easily and quickly be located when needed.
