Estate Administration Attorney
When a Loved One Passes
You have our condolences. When a loved one passes away, the focus should be on family and grieving the loss of someone important in your life - not on the intricacies of his or her estate.
The average person has dozens of questions and is not expected to know how to handle the often complicated affairs of the deceased.
Yet countless people are given this enormous responsibility.
Most people feel the magnitude of handling a loved one’s affairs, and harness a resolve to ensure that their loved one’s final wishes are respected.
Remember, you cannot rely on the Power of Attorney because it terminates upon your loved one’s death.
We Help You Ease the Burden
Estate administration complexity varies greatly, depending on several important factors:
Is there a Will?
Are there named beneficiaries on assets?
Is there a beneficiary who is a minor, under a disability or whose whereabouts are unknown ?
What types of assets are there and their dollar value?
Are there life insurance policies or pensions?
Is there a safe deposit box?
How much debt is there?
Even seemingly organized people in life can leave a messy trail behind them, leaving the burden on loved ones and close friends. Larry Naviasky can offer guidance and assistance to address these difficult tasks.

What People Are Saying
“As co-executor of my parents’ estate, I hired Larry Naviasky to be our estate attorney, as well as our real estate attorney to handle the sale of my parents’ home.
My siblings and I lost our parents within two short years. As you can imagine, emotions were raw and we were all emotionally and physically drained from taking care of them in their home through to the end. The thought of sorting through all of the financial matters and clearing out and selling our family home of 49 years was daunting, to say the least. There was an unbelievable amount of work to be done. We were members of the sandwich generation – taking care of children and our parents – so finding an efficient and highly experienced attorney whom we could trust was our number one goal.
Larry and his amazing staff guided us through every step of the way. His expertise, compassion, responsiveness, and ability to listen truly helped relieve our stress thereby enabling us to get the estate settled in an efficient and timely manner. I highly recommend Larry.
