Probate & Estate Administration

Mensah, Butler & Dzubow, PLLC

Probate and Estate Administration Lawyers — Washington, D.C.

Serving as the executor or administrator of an estate is a position of special responsibility. As an executor, you have a fiduciary duty to protect the assets of the estate and to distribute them in accordance with the decedent's wishes. You also have a moral and personal duty to try and handle any uncertainties in the way they would have wanted.

It is a position of immense trust, one that you have to earn.

We place a high value on building long-term relationships with our clients. Clients have consistently rewarded our efforts to satisfy their legal needs by trusting us to help their friends, family members and business associates. Contact us.

At Mensah, Butler & Dzubow, our probate and estate administration lawyers represent clients throughout the District of Columbia and the surrounding areas of Maryland and Northern Virginia, handling everything from the most basic functions of an executor such as marshaling the distribution of assets to representing the estate in a complex will contest in court.

As the theory goes, handling a well-thought out estate plan (such as a will, power of attorney, or trusts) can make probate and the administration of the estate, no matter its size, a smooth period of transition. That said — planning for every possibility is not realistic or cost-effective. When unforeseen circumstances or questions arise, it is the job of the executor to put themselves in the decedent's shoes and try to do what you would have. We are able to effectively serve as estate administrators because we know our clients. We know them because they trust us.

We are not one of the larger firms in the D.C. area and prefer to keep it that way for precisely this kind of reason.
