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.

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 some engagements, our Arlington real estate lawyers may decide this means negotiating a deal with creative terms favorable to our client.

Probate Law

At Antonoplos & Associates, we are committed to helping our clients navigate Virginia Probate Administration and Virginia Probate Litigation in the Arlington area.

As such, people typically don’t know anything about the Virginia probate process and need guidance to navigate probating a loved one’s estate.

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.

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.
