Virginia Fiduciary is dedicated solely to meeting the legal and practical needs of those involved in estate settlement and administration. In late 2002 the lawyers of Virginia Estate Plans, PLC, divided the firm into two separate organizations, one focusing on estate planning, the other concentrating on the administration of estates and trusts. This is the origin of Virginia Fiduciary, PLC, a Virginia law firm advising clients who serve as executors and trustees. Our practice areas include probate, trust administration, and other legal and fiduciary services, estate taxes, fiduciary income taxes, alternative dispute resolution, and post-mortem tax planning.

With offices in Richmond's West End, Lexington and Mathews, we serve clients throughout Virginia.

Virginia Fiduciary meets the highest standards of fiduciary service with expert guidance and impeccable professionalism.    In addition to providing legal services, Virginia Fiduciary is available, as authorized by Virginia law, to serve as executor or trustee when professional fiduciary services are needed.  Unlike banks and trust companies, we do not provide investment management services. Those responsibilities are delegated to professional investment advisors acting in compliance with prudent investor standards. Typically, the selection of the investment advisor is made by our client. Problem solving is second nature to us.  Virginia Fiduciary, PLC is unique among Virginia law firms in its purpose and vision.  Our lawyers have more than a century of combined experience in estate and trust administration.  Problem-solving is second nature to us.  We are comfortable administering estates and trusts with closely-held businesses, real estate investments, unusual assets and difficult family relationships.  Virginia Fiduciary is committed to highly personalized service in a professional setting.
