The amount of misinformation in this area is considerable. The law is rapidly changing. Individuals should not rely on street information in making plans in this area. You should contact Thomas F. Hewner to arrange an appointment to discuss your estate planning needs. If a family member has died, you should discuss with an attorney the procedures for handling your loved one's estate.
Estate administration involves both legal and practical concerns.
Estates need to be properly administered through the Court, whether or not there is a Will. Practical issues, such as disposing of personal and real property, also need to be addressed. Thomas F. Hewner has handled over a thousand estates in the last ten years, both in his capacity as private attorney, and as counsel to the Public Administrator of Erie County. Mr. Hewner, along with his Associate, Corina Wheelock, can provide a wealth of information and practical knowledge to assure an efficient handling of any estate situation. We are also able to provide service in other Surrogate Court matters, such as Will contests and guardianship issues.
