PROBATE & ESTATE ADMINISTRATION

When someone dies probate is the process of taking care of the necessary legal and financial administration and the distribution of their 'estate' (all they legally own).

​If a will exists the executors need to retrieve the original will and are legally responsible and accountable for all the estate administration. This includes accounting for all the estate's assets, paying taxes, applying for probate, dealing with all the legal and financial matters and finally distributing the estate according to the will's instructions. The process can be complicated, onerous, and is unpaid.

In situations where no will exists family members can apply to be a Legal Personal Representatives (LPR's). They will then be legally responsible and accountable for all the estate administration. This includes initially accounting for all the estate's assets, paying taxes, applying for probate, dealing with all the legal and financial matters and finally distributing the estate according to the Laws of Intestacy. Again, the process can be complicated, onerous, and is unpaid.
