Los Angeles Probate Administration Lawyer
What is probate administration?
When a person dies, his or her estate must be properly cataloged and distributed amongst heirs and beneficiaries. In some cases, this will require filing an application for probate. Probate administration is a term that refers to the process of appointing an executor or administrator who is responsible for several key issues in regard to the decedent's estate. This may include:
- Identifying and accounting for all assets;
- Identifying and paying all debts that are owed by the decedent;
- Identifying and paying all tax debt, including income and death taxes;
- Preparing a final accounting of this to the probate court; and
- Distributing the estate assets in a fair and proper manner.
