Sanchez Law Group, P.A handle matters which deal with the
distribution of an individual's property at his or her
death, taking into account wills, taxes, insurance,
property, and trusts so as to gain maximum benefit of
all laws and, at the same time, carrying out the
person's wishes. Estate Administration includes the
probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the
deceased's assets.
Probate is the court proceeding
through which a will is proved to be valid and the
estate of a decedent is administered. The process,
generally, includes collecting a decedent's assets,
liquidating liabilities, paying necessary taxes, and
distribution of property to heirs. Individual state laws
direct the probate court on how to distribute the
deceased's estate. State laws and procedures vary
greatly, so, it is important to consult an attorney to
ensure that the deceased's assets are distributed
correctly.
