    Rapid City Estate Administration

    It is always a good idea to meet with an experienced Rapid City estate planning attorney when a loved one passes away to determine the proper steps that need to be taken. Although probate may be avoided in certain situations with the proper estate plan, probating an estate is sometimes necessary.

    We work with our clients, whether a personal representative (or executor) or beneficiary of the estate, to make the probate process as simple as possible. If a dispute arises regarding an estate, we also represent clients during the ensuing litigation to secure and safeguard their interests.

    At Beardsley, Jensen & Lee, we not only assist clients with estate planning and estate administration, but we also assist with succession planning for clients who own businesses, farms, or ranches. In today’s legal landscape, succession planning ensures that the family business, farm, or ranch is protected for future generations while also strategically limiting or potentially avoiding high tax burdens that may cripple the successful transfer of the family business, farm, or ranch.
