Probate and estate administration are legal processes that occur after a person passes away.

Probate is the process of validating a deceased person’s will in court and ensuring that their assets are distributed according to their wishes. If the deceased person did not leave a will, the court will appoint an executor to manage their estate and distribute their assets according to the laws of the jurisdiction.

Estate administration is the process of managing and distributing the deceased person’s assets, which includes settling any outstanding debts, paying taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries. This process is usually overseen by the executor or administrator of the estate.

Both probate and estate administration can be complex and time-consuming processes, especially if there are disputes among the beneficiaries or creditors. It’s important to seek legal advice to ensure that the process is carried out properly and in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction.

We can help guide the executor or administrator through the process and ensure that the deceased person’s wishes are respected and their assets are distributed as efficiently and effectively as possible.
