Estate Administration
When a person dies, all of his or her possessions – real estate, money, stocks, personal belongings, etc. – become a part of his or her estate. Estate administration refers to the process of collecting and managing the estate, paying any debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property to the heirs of the estate. The heirs of an estate are determined by will, and if there isn't a will, by the intestacy (which means dying without a will) laws of each state.
Our office can consult you as the Executor in the steps that must be taken in your unique situation. At that point, you may decide to handle all estate matters on your own, to have our office take care of certain parts or, especially in the case of more complicated estates or intestacy, have our office administer the Estate on your behalf.
