H2R CPA's Estate and Fiduciary Tax Services Division provides a comprehensive Estate Administration service for attorneys
Our Estate Administration specialists are experienced in handling all tax and accounting related processes required upon an individual's death.
The Estate Administration process involves document review and investigation in order to accurately determine an individual’s assets and liabilities. Death tax returns, as well as income tax returns, are prepared as required. Governmental agency approvals are obtained prior to an estate being closed. Postmortem tax planning is also an integral part of the Estate Administration service we provide.
Once the process is finished, all of the transactions completed during Estate Administration are detailed in an accounting which is provided to the heirs and/or the Court, together with distribution proposals.
