Probate & Estate Administration
Probate lawyer David Tyree fully understands estate, tax and probate laws and can make this process as easy as possible. Mr Tyree ensures debts are settled, assets are distributed, and all appropriate taxes are paid.
When a loved one has passed away, their estate can often go through a court-managed process called estate administration or “probate”. The assets of the deceased are processed and distributed. If your loved one owned his or her assets through a drafted living trust, it is likely that no court-managed administration is necessary. The successor trustee needs to administer the distribution of the deceased’s assets.
Every probate estate is unique, but most involve the following steps:
- Filing of a petition with the court.
- Notify the heirs under the Will or to statutory heirs (if there is no Will).
- Petition to appoint Executor (in the case of a Will) or Administrator for the estate.
- Inventory and appraisal of estate assets by Administrator.
- Payment of estate debt to rightful creditors.
- Sale of estate assets.
- Payment of estate taxes, if applicable.
- Final distribution of assets to heirs.
