Managing An Estate After Death
After the death of a loved one, you may be responsible for the administration of their estate. If you were named the personal representative or executor, it is important to have a clear understanding of your rights as well as your personal obligations in managing an estate. At Piro Zinna Cifelli Paris & Genitempo LLC in Nutley, New Jersey, our firm is committed to helping individuals and families manage the details of estate administration while protecting their personal interests preventing liability.
Attorney Michelle E. Smith will take a strategic and informed approach in handling your case. Our firm represents executors, personal representatives and administrators to assist with the task of settling the estate of a family member or loved one.
