For over two decades, Antonoplos & Associate’s team of talented estate planning attorneys has represented high net worth individuals, families, and business owners throughout Arlington Virginia. Our attorneys’ goal is to help people living in Virginia develop wealth by offering estate planning strategies and solutions that achieve their individual goals and maximize the assets that they can pass on to their loved ones.

Our Arlington Virginia estate planning attorneys most commonly assist clients with creating a last will and testament, establishing trusts, executing a healthcare power of attorney or financial power of attorney, creating a living will, and making funeral arrangements in advance. Because many of our attorneys have degrees and experience that span both the legal and financial fields, we are able to maximize the cost savings you receive from creating a will or setting up a trust.

Real Estate Law

The Arlington Virginia area offers many great residential and commercial real estate opportunities for real estate investors, first-time homebuyers, and large Virginia corporations. While Arlington has a lot of options for every type of real estate buyer, it is critical that you incorporate an experienced real estate attorney before, during, and after this process. Antonoplos & Associates Arlington law office has been consistently recognized as one of the best real estate law firms in Arlington and commonly assists clients with the acquisition, sale, leasing, management, financing and development of office, industrial, retail, and residential real estate projects. Furthermore, our Arlington real estate practice advises investors, property owners, buyers, sellers, lenders, receivers, brokers, landlords, and tenants throughout Arlington on the purchase and sale of real estate.

Even with the help of Arlington’s best real estate attorneys, litigation occurring from property disputes is sometimes inevitable. When litigation does arise, it is even more important that you have someone on your side who has the knowledge and experience required to navigate legal issues. At Antonoplos & Associates, our Arlington real estate litigation lawyers analyze each case, examine our opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, and then attack our opponents in the areas that provide the best opportunities for success. In doing so, we consistently provide our clients with the most efficient path to favorable results in their real estate litigation cases. In some engagements, our Arlington real estate lawyers may decide this means negotiating a deal with creative terms favorable to our client. However, certain conflicts require our real estate attorneys to pursue an approach focused on exposing each of our opponent’s weaknesses and seeing the lawsuit to its fruition.

Probate Law

At Antonoplos & Associates, we are committed to helping our clients navigate Virginia Probate Administration and Virginia Probate Litigation in the Arlington area. Virginia probate law can be confusing, no matter how many assets must pass through this process. For many people, the passing of a loved one is the first time that they will experience Virginia probate law. As such, people typically don’t know anything about the Virginia probate process and need guidance to navigate probating a loved one’s estate. What makes matters worse is that many people don’t know who to turn to for guidance regarding Virginia probate law, this can often lead to family members fighting, the probate process stalling, and expensive legal conflict. Should a conflict arise between family members, our team of experienced probate attorneys is ready to provide the trusted counsel our clients need. When it’s time to litigate a probate estate, our experienced team of probate lawyers are here to represent your interests and make sure that the probate estate is handled properly and distributed according to the terms of the law.

The Antonoplos & Associates group of Arlington probate attorneys most commonly assist clients with probate petitions and the supporting documents, petitions for appointment of personal representative, preparation of first & final account, notices to creditor, first and final accounting, and preparation of estate tax returns.

Trust Administration

Trust Administration can be a difficult and sometimes overwhelming process for both beneficiaries and trustees. For many people, the combination of complex laws, the amount of assets, and the number of people involved in trust administration can be too much to handle. As the trustee, you are responsible for overseeing and distributing assets in the trust in an efficient and cost-effective manner. This requirement of trust administration can be extremely difficult if you are unfamiliar with financial management and the complex trust administration process. For more than two decades, Antonoplos & Associates groups of Arlington trust administration attorneys have advised trustees in all aspects of trust administration, ensuring that our clients distribute trust assets correctly and efficiently while minimizing associated tax burdens. Additionally, our team of trust administration attorneys assists trust beneficiaries if they feel that the trustee did not complete their job correctly or took assets from the trust for self-serving purposes. Finally, our group of Arlington trust administration attorneys most typically work with clients establishing, overlooking, and distributing assets from living trusts, testamentary trusts, irrevocable life insurance trusts, charitable remainder trusts, qualified domestic trusts, spendthrift trusts, special needs trusts, asset protection trusts, and Totten trusts.
