Estate administration is the legal and logistical process of managing and distributing a deceased person's assets and affairs. This intricate procedure involves settling outstanding debts, identifying and valuing assets, and ultimately distributing the remaining property among the heirs or beneficiaries.

​

Executors, appointed in the deceased's will or by the court, play a crucial role in overseeing the estate administration, ensuring that the deceased's wishes are carried out in compliance with applicable laws.

 

The process often involves probate court proceedings, which can vary in complexity depending on factors such as the size of the estate and the presence of a valid will.

 

Estate administration seeks to provide a systematic and lawful framework for handling the aftermath of an individual's passing, offering clarity and fairness in the distribution of their assets.
