Our Services
Probate and Estate Administration
We assist clients with all required probate court proceedings, locating and collecting assets and transferring them to heirs, and other steps necessary to carry out an individual’s estate plan.
Trust Administration
Trusts have become commonplace in estate planning. Our attorneys advise individual trustees and corporate fiduciaries regarding the legal issues and fiduciary responsibilities that arise during trust administration. Our attorneys assist beneficiaries to understand their rights and with the oversight of trustees. In some cases, at the request of the family, our attorneys may serve as trustee or co-trustee.
Tax Preparation
To complement our probate and trust administration services, Devine Millimet prepares federal and state estate tax returns, gift tax returns and fiduciary income tax returns.
Representation Before Tax Authorities
We provide experienced representation in audits, appeals and inquiries on federal and state transfer tax and fiduciary income tax matters before the Internal Revenue Service, the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, and in Tax Court.
