What Is Estate Administration And Probate?
Estate administration is the legal process of managing someone’s estate after their death according to the terms of their estate plan. Probate is just one portion of the estate administration process. During probate, the decedent’s executor submits the last will and testament to the court for validation. Georgia does not necessarily require probate for every estate.
Compassionate Assistance For Executors And Administrators
After a court has declared a deceased person’s will valid, then the estate’s executor has several duties. When someone dies intestate, then the court appoints an administrator. This executor or administrator must attend the court-managed probate process, which transfers the property of the decedent’s estate.
Some of an executor’s or administrator’s duties include:
- Creating an inventory
- Distributing property and assets
- Notifying and repaying creditors
As you can imagine, these obligations involve several complex legal steps. Our probate and estate administration can assist you in completing every step and avoiding potential problems.
