Terms to Know in Estate Administration

Estate administration can be extremely complex for every party involved. It can be a property owner’s first time setting up a will, and their eventual benefactors can be just as confused.

Also, not every case plays out the same, since each inheritance claim is unique. An experienced estate attorney, for example, would file your estate with the courts depending on whether you’ll distribute it through a will or trust.

These are a few important terms related to estate administration that we’ll guide you through with our legal services.

Will

These are also called testaments. A will is a written document that explains what should happen with all property and assets after death.

Probate

Ranging from proving a will valid in court to distributing assets, probate is the process of executing a will.

Trust

A trust is a fiduciary arrangement where a third party can manage assets on behalf of beneficiaries. Living trusts, on the other hand, let you manage these while you’re alive and outside probate.

Power of Attorney

Each state varies when it comes to power of attorney, but they give a responsible person decision-making power over an individual. However, that person must sign an agreement.

What are the steps of probate, and when is it necessary?

Probate is the legal and often time-consuming process of distributing property and finalizing the payment of debts. When a will is in place, the probate process involves several steps.

  • The will or the courts put an executor in place
  • An official court hearing will prove a will valid
  • The executor will take inventory of all property, assets, debts, and taxes
  • Beneficiaries will receive property and assets due to them
