What is Estate Administration?
Estate administration involves managing and distributing a deceased person’s assets according to their will or, if there is no will, in accordance with state laws. This process includes identifying and inventorying the deceased’s assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the rightful beneficiaries. Estate planning, on the other hand, involves preparing for the management and disposal of a person’s estate during their life and after death.
