Harris, Hamman, Glick & Heckman, LLP provides estate administration services for California families, executors, trustees, surviving spouses, and beneficiaries who need guidance after a death or during a period of incapacity. With offices in Gridley and Chico, the firm serves clients throughout Butte County, Glenn County, and surrounding Sacramento Valley communities, helping families address the legal and practical steps involved in administering an estate.

The firm assists with the work that often follows a death, including paying bills, assembling assets, giving required notices, completing tax-related forms, and making distributions to beneficiaries. Depending on the estate plan and family circumstances, Harris, Hamman, Glick & Heckman, LLP may help with trust administration, probate of wills, intestate estates, small estate procedures, community property transfers to surviving spouses, and post-death administration of living trusts.

For simpler living trusts, the firm may provide limited support, such as preparing statutory notices to heirs and advising trustees about their duties. In more complex trust or estate matters, the firm can coordinate with accountants and other professionals to help ensure that the estate or trust is properly administered for beneficiaries. The firm also assists with conservatorships for adults and guardianships for children when court-supervised administration is required.

Harris, Hamman, Glick & Heckman, LLP has deep roots in Northern California, with a firm history reaching back to the 1930s in Gridley. The practice represents and advises clients in estate planning, estate administration, elder law, business, real estate, agriculture, and civil litigation, and appears in courts throughout the Sacramento Valley.
