Whether someone died with or without a will or other legal guidelines about how the estate should be settled, there are legal requirements that need to be met. If you are the executor or a family member with concerns about estate administration, contact the Law Office of Charles M. Oldham, PLLC, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The process begins by gathering assets and debts.
Attorney Charles Oldham will give you and your family personal attention throughout the probate and estate administration process. Before any assets are distributed, any debts will need to be paid. Tangible assets such as cars, art or real property may need to be liquidated to pay debts.
Estate administration requires a careful inventory of all assets and distribution according to the will or other documents. If the deceased did not have a will, state statutes will determine where the assets will go.
Probate and estate administration is an exacting process. All assets must be accounted for, all debts paid and all remaining assets distributed. An estate administration lawyer can explain the process and assure all parties that the process is fair and according to legal requirements.
