Professional Estate and Trust Administration with Careful Attention to Detail

Managing the legal and financial affairs of a loved one or an estate requires a high degree of precision, integrity, and local expertise.

At Hyatt Browning Shirkey Law Firm, PLC, we provide professional fiduciary services for individuals and families who require a dedicated representative to manage complex legal obligations. Our founding attorney, Hyatt Browning Shirkey, is a certified Guardian ad litem for both children and incapacitated adults, bringing specialized knowledge to cases involving the protection of those who cannot advocate for themselves. We treat our fiduciary roles with the same care and seriousness we would apply to our own family members, ensuring that all assets and interests are managed with the utmost transparency.

Navigating the roles of executor, administrator, or guardian involves significant liability and complex reporting. Choosing a local Roanoke firm ensures that you have access to attorneys who are deeply familiar with the Western District of Virginia and the specific expectations of the local Commissioners of Accounts. Whether we are serving as the appointed fiduciary or advising you on your own fiduciary duties, our goal is to minimize conflict and maximize the protection of the estate's assets.

Our firm leverages a background in psychology and relationship management to handle the sensitive family dynamics that often arise during estate administration. We make ourselves available to the firm’s clients to ensure that every question is answered and every detail is addressed with professionalism and expertise.
