What is Estate Administration? How Can I Handle It?

Estate administration involves gathering all of a deceased individual’s assets and distributing them either according to their will or the state’s intestacy laws. Assets include real estate, stocks, bonds, and insurance policies.  

When all the deceased person’s assets are accounted for and approved by the court and the beneficiaries, your estate administration attorney will begin distributing the estate. Any outstanding debts the individual had have to be paid by the estate. The laws governing estate distribution are covered by Pennsylvania’s Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code and Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code.

The death of a close relative or friend is a difficult, highly emotional experience. Taking on the responsibility of settling their affairs makes it even harder. When you need to ensure that your loved one’s wishes are carried out and your rights are protected, estate administration services are well worth the cost.
