Estates, Wills & Trusts

It’s important to provide a plan to protect your family and wealth in the event of your incapacity or death in Denver. Illumine Legal LLC has the estate planning attorneys to help you successfully navigate the legal process following a death. Our probate attorneys can assist with opening a probate, settling creditor claims, and ultimately distributing assets while protecting the fiduciary from liability. In addition, our estate tax lawyers can consider trust terms and whether modification would forward the creator’s intent in Denver.

What’s a Testamentary Trust?

A testamentary trust is a provision in a will that appoints a trustee that will manage the assets of the dead. If you need one in Denver, our estate tax lawyers are highly adept at reducing estate tax liabilities, helping you keep as much as you can. A testamentary trust must be passed along in the will, and it will need to go through the entire probate process in Denver.

After a person dies in Denver, a probate attorney should be hired to handle the estate administration. Illumine Legal LLC does this by reviewing executed wills or living trusts, assisting with opening a probate in the accurate jurisdiction, and ensuring the entire probate process runs smoothly and according to the letter of the law. When a person passes in Denver or Colorado, we can advise on various legal matters that go along with it.
