About Probate and Estate Administration
Administering an estate involves identifying assets and liabilities, considering tax and dealing with those entitled to inherit. A grant of probate or letters of administration may be needed, depending on the circumstances. The person administering the estate has responsibilities that continue beyond obtaining the grant.
Key Points
- Locate the original will and information about assets and debts.
- Establish who is entitled to administer the estate.
- Check liabilities and tax before distributing funds.
