Estate Planning & Probate Administration

Life transitions – whether celebratory or sorrowful – often generate a need for estate planning or probate administration services. The Estate Planning & Probate Administration group at Capes, Sokol, Goodman & Sarachan, P.C. focuses on comprehensive and empathetic services for all of life’s transitions.

Our attorneys are known for their objective advice and compassionate understanding of client needs to address transition. Clients often initiate planning when expecting a child, following the birth of a child, as they near retirement and as aging requires, oftentimes addressing the needs of infirm relatives. While initial planning defines wishes and attends to proper documentation for estate plan implementation, Capes Sokol provides ongoing advice as laws and individual or family circumstances change. We offer timely legal counsel in virtually all matters related to estate planning and distribution, including:

  • Probate administration
  • Last wills and testaments
  • Trusts
  • Powers of Attorney
  • Living wills
  • Living trusts
  • Guardianships
  • Conservatorships

We value trusting relationships with our clients and provide the critical advice and counsel needed to fulfill our clients’ wishes surrounding their life assets. Our estate planning and probate administration professionals include the following:
