Ensuring All Probate Responsibilities Are Properly Carried Out
When an individual dies, either with or without a will, his or her estate must be settled through a court proceeding known as probate. Probate is the court-administered process of distributing property upon another’s death. The executor or executrix of an estate has responsibilities that may include, but are not limited to:
- Identifying the estate assets
- Paying any debts owed by the decedent at the time of death
- Paying any taxes that may be owed as a result of the death
- Pursuing any claims against third parties that are owed to the estate
- Determining the identity of the decedent’s heirs if he or she died without leaving a will
- Distributing the remaining assets to the decedent’s heirs or beneficiaries under a will
