Probate Law & Estate Planning

When a someone passes away, his or her estate often goes through a court-managed process called probate or estate administration, in which the assets of the deceased person are managed and then distributed. Estate administration involves the following steps:

collection of the decedent’s assets;
payment of debts and claims against the estate;
payment of estate taxes, if any;
determination of heirs if the decedent died without a will (intestate);
distribution of the remainder of the estate to those entitled.
