Routine Probate Administration

​

When someone you love dies, the process of grieving can be draining and difficult. The process of settling the financial affairs of that person can make it no easier, but they are often inseparable. Our clients so frequently find themselves facing an inevitable process, which they must endure nonetheless.

​

Probate is the broad term we apply to a variety of procedures used to gather a decedent’s assets, pay their debts and transfer property to their beneficiaries or heirs. These procedures vary depending on the facts and circumstances, which are unique to each case.

​

Dependent administrator – In the absence of a will, a dependent administrator is responsible for collecting all assets belonging to the deceased and resolving debts with creditors. The dependent administrator is appointed by the court and acts under its supervision. They are required to prepare an Inventory, Appraisement and List of Claims, as well as file proof of required legal notices to creditors. They also must obtain approval to sell estate assets and file annual accountings before closing the estate and distributing it to heirs.

​

Probate Estate – All of the Decedent’s assets that are subject to his or her last will and testament.

Non-Probate Estate – all of the Decedent’s assets that pass by written contract–assuming the Decedent named a beneficiary–to the persons designated. Bank accounts, investment accounts, life insurance policies, and retirement accounts are common non-probate assets. When properly executed, the written contracts for these accounts allow them to pass to the persons designated by the Decedent, without regard to a will.

​

Beneficiaries – those persons who are entitled to receive the Decedent’s estate under the Decedent’s last will and testament (and any applicable codicils, which are amendments to a will).

​

Heirs – those persons who are entitled to receive the Decedent’s estate under the laws of intestacy (the law that applies in the absence of a will).
