Probate and Estate Administration
Finding the simplest path forward
Probate and estate administration are processes that occur after an individual becomes incapacitated or passes away. These processes can vary significantly in complexity, depending on the level of estate planning completed during the individual's lifetime and the assets involved. When a comprehensive estate plan is in place, this process can be relatively straightforward, allowing for a smooth transition of assets and implementation of the deceased's wishes. However, when little or no estate planning has been done, a more lengthy formal probate administration may be necessary. Probate is the court-supervised process of validating a will (if one exists), paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets to beneficiaries.
