Estate administration is the legal process of managing and settling a person’s estate after they pass away. This includes collecting assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing property to heirs or beneficiaries. Whether or not there is a will, estate administration can be complex and emotionally overwhelming—especially during a time of loss.

You may need legal help with estate administration if:

• You have been named as an executor or administrator and need guidance on your responsibilities.

• The estate includes real estate, business interests, or significant assets that must be managed or sold.

• There is no will, and the estate must go through intestate succession under state law.

• You are facing disputes among heirs or beneficiaries that need to be resolved legally.

• You need help with filing court documents, managing estate taxes, or working through the probate process.

• Creditors are making claims against the estate, and you need help determining what’s valid.
