Estate Administration

When somebody dies there is a process by which their assets must be valued, and their bills paid, and after all bills are paid, their assets are transferred to the persons that they name in their Last Will and Testament, or that the law of the state in which they reside dictates. Whether there is a Last Will and Testament or not, the Probate Court in the County in which the decedent resides controls the administration of the decedent’s estate. If the person dies with all of his or her assets in trust, then that is a different set of rules. Most estates cannot be administered by the lay person and must retain an attorney to assist the Administrator or Executor in the Estate.
