What is Estate Administration?
Estate administration is the legal process of managing and settling a person’s estate after their death. Under Pennsylvania law, this may involve probate, depending on the circumstances. The process typically includes:
Filing the Will and obtaining Letters Testamentary, or if there is no Will, obtaining Letters of Administration
Identifying and valuing estate assets
Paying outstanding bills and expenses
Managing estate property during administration
Preparing, filing and paying the Pennsylvania inheritance tax
Distributing assets to beneficiaries
Whether the estate is simple or complex, proper administration is essential to avoid delays, disputes, extra costs, and personal liability.
