Frequently Asked Questions About Probate and Estate Administration
Navigating probate and estate administration can be confusing, but understanding the process can make it much easier. Here are some key questions and answers:
Probate is the legal process of validating a deceased person’s will in court. It confirms that the will is authentic and authorizes the executor to distribute assets according to the deceased’s wishes.
Estate administration involves managing and distributing a deceased person’s assets, including paying debts, filing taxes, and distributing property to beneficiaries. The executor or administrator oversees this process.
While not legally required, a lawyer ensures the process is handled correctly and efficiently. Legal guidance can prevent errors, avoid delays, and provide clarity when disputes arise.
If a person passes away without a will (intestate), the court appoints an administrator to manage the estate. Assets are then distributed according to provincial laws, which may differ from what the deceased would have wanted.
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the estate, the number of assets, and whether any disputes arise. Some estates may be completed in a few months, while others can take over a year.
While not all disputes can be prevented, having clear legal guidance and following the probate and estate administration process carefully can minimize misunderstandings and ensure fair and efficient distribution of assets.
