Estate Administration Attorney Services
What Does an Estate Administration Attorney Do? If you're responsible for administering an estate, you may be wondering what an estate administration attorney does and how they can help you. An estate administration attorney is a lawyer who specializes in helping clients navigate the process of managing and distributing the assets of a deceased person.
An estate administration attorney can help you with a variety of tasks related to estate administration, including:
Probating a will: If the deceased person left a will, an estate administration attorney can help you understand your responsibilities as an executor and guide you through the probate process. This includes filing the will with the court, identifying and inventorying the deceased person's assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the assets to beneficiaries.
Administering an intestate estate: If the deceased person did not leave a will, an estate administration attorney can help you understand your responsibilities as an administrator and guide you through the process of distributing the assets according to state law.
Resolving disputes: If there are disputes over the interpretation of a will or the distribution of assets, an estate administration attorney can help you understand your options and represent you in court if necessary.
