Probate

Probate is a legal proceeding to distribute a deceased person’s assets. The loss of a loved one is a difficult time for a family and attempting to distribute their estate alone can prove to be unduly burdensome. The probate process is generally either formal, informal or supervised. If there is no Will to determine who is appointed as Executor or Personal Representative and who the rightful heirs are, then the court will appoint an Executor or Personal Representative and determine heirs based on intestacy statutes.

Estate administration involves more than the distribution of assets. It will require dealing with creditors, paying bills, in some instances filing taxes, and locating assets and heirs.
