Estate Administration:Leave Your Legacy.
Here to Help You Through the Process
Losing a loved one is never easy. Part of the responsibilities of an administrator of an estate can be to reduce the level of stress during the probate process.
What You Need to Know
Probate Process
Collecting and managing the estate, paying any debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property to the heirs of the estate.
Heirs
The heirs are determined by the will or intestacy laws of each state. The will may be read a few days after the funeral, but the gifts and bequests are not given out at that time.
Executors
An executor is responsible for the care and maintenance of the estate property. Once they’re approved by the court, they are required to prepare and file an inventory of assets (real estate, money, stocks, personal belongings, etc.) and a list of claims.
Attorneys
If the probate process is complicated, the executor is entitled to hire an attorney to help him or her with the process. That’s where our experienced attorneys at Legacy Law come in to help.
