ESTATE ADMINISTRATION

An individual’s estate includes all of his or her possessions after they die. When a person dies, their real estate, money, stocks, and personal belongings all become part of a person’s estate. Administering the estate includes collecting and managing assets, paying off any remaining debts, collecting payments to the estate, and making distributions to any remaining heirs. Heirs are named in the will, and if there is no will, they are determined by the state’s intestacy laws. Administering an estate can be overwhelming, whether it is due to the emotional toll of losing a loved one or because of the added responsibility to your already busy life. The attorneys at M.E. Roberts Law have significant experience in administering estates. They will help you navigate the frequently challenging issues involved with effective estate administration.
