Bio

When a person dies, settling their affairs can be difficult and complex. Amelia (Ame) Mapes works to help carry out their estate planning and testamentary wishes. She knows personal and thoughtful guidance are of the utmost importance for family members, individuals, and fiduciaries tasked with gathering and distributing the legacies built by those who have passed on. Ame is a committed problem solver who combines her background in finance with common sense solutions to counsel family members, fiduciaries, and beneficiaries through probate and trust administration, and various questions and concerns that arise along the way. In her practice, Ame assists to identify estate assets, manage the administration process, determine tax obligations and debts of the estate, and transfer assets to the appropriate beneficiaries. Families, individuals, and professional fiduciaries often seek Ame's help as an advocate in litigation and the settlement or resolution of such matters, including trust divisions and modifications. Ame has tried cases to judges and juries involving claims for trust and will contests for lack of capacity and undue influence, breaches of fiduciary duties, tortious interference with inheritance, and fraud.
