What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of settling an estate. It involves proving that a will is valid, identifying and inventorying the deceased person’s property, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property as the will (or state law, if there is no will) directs.
The probate process typically involves the following steps:
- Filing the will and petition with the probate court
- Notifying creditors, beneficiaries, and heirs
- Taking inventory of the estate
- Paying debts and taxes
- Distributing the remaining property
Probate can be a lengthy and complex process, especially if there are disputes over the will or other issues. Our Long Island estate and probate attorneys can help you navigate the process and ensure that your loved one’s wishes are carried out.
What Is Estate Administration?
Estate administration is the process of settling an estate when there is no will. It is similar to the probate process, but the court will distribute the property according to state law, rather than the deceased person’s wishes.
The estate administration process typically involves the following steps:
- Appointing an estate administrator
- Notifying creditors, beneficiaries, and heirs
- Taking inventory of the estate
- Paying debts and taxes
- Distributing the remaining property
Like probate, estate administration can be a lengthy and complex process. Our Long Island estate and probate lawyers can help you navigate the process and ensure that your loved one’s property is distributed as the law directs.
