What is Estate Administration?
Anyone who passes away has an estate. The administration of an Estate is taking that person’s assets (if any), and distributing them to where they are supposed to go. So, if that person has some debt; we pay the debt. If that person has a will, it goes as the will directs. If there is no will, we do as the state directs.
Whenever someone dies, the family members are left with this question, “What do we do with the property?” Chances are you will have some assets or debt at the time of your death. When this occurs, the assets and debts are placed in an “estate.”
