Probate law is the process of ensuring that the directives made in a person’s will are followed exactly.
Administration is the process of disposing of an estate when there is no will. Administration is the more complicated of the two and can result in a more tedious and time-consuming process. Additionally, it results in more court oversight which can be more expensive and difficult for the family.
Whether probating a will or filing an application for the administration, the process is challenging, especially if you have just lost a loved one. Having to organize their estate, dealing with the court and meeting important deadlines, distributing assets and ensuring everyone’s legal rights are respected is extremely complicated. Insurance companies, debt collectors and others will certainly have their own hat to throw into the ring to make things even more confusing. This can result in heated legal battles that require an experienced trial attorney to represent your interests in the estate, whatever they may be. Whether you are the spouse, sibling, descendant or creditor, Carter Law can navigate this rough legal terrain to get you the best outcome possible.
