What Does Estate Administration Entail?
Probate is the legal process of administering an estate. This includes collecting the assets of the deceased, paying their debts, and then distributing the assets to the beneficiaries. It is important to understand that probate is a legal process, and you will need an attorney to help you through it. Our firm can help you with every step of the process.
Estate administration involves several steps, including:
- Determining the value of the assets
- Paying the deceased's debts
- Filing the will with the court
- Dividing the assets among the beneficiaries
- Distributing the assets
If there is no will, the court will appoint an administrator to distribute the assets. The court will determine whether the assets should be divided among the beneficiaries or whether the assets should be sold and the proceeds distributed.
How Long Does Probate Take?
It depends on the size of the estate and the complexity of the assets. If there is a will, the process can take anywhere from a few months to a year. If there is no will, the process can take much longer.
The time it takes to complete the probate process depends on several factors, including:
- The number of assets
- The number of beneficiaries
- The complexity of the assets
- Whether there are any disputes among the beneficiaries
Our firm can help you navigate the probate process, so you can get through it as quickly as possible.
