Practice Areas

At Coen Wexler and Wentz, our professionals have over 70 years experience in handling all aspects of the administration of a decedent's estate. Our attorneys work with the Executor on how best to satisfy the decedent's wishes as expressed in the Last Will and Testament or Trusts.

This includes notifying and satisfying decedent's creditors; implementing procedures to limit the possibility of a will contest or other estate litigation; preserving and protecting the assets; evaluating issues concerning exempt property; family allowance and elective share benefits; preparation of the tax returns related to the estate; distributing assets to the beneficiaries; obtaining receipts and releases; and preparing the final accounting for the Executor.
