Probate Estate administration is a legal process where Probate assets are administered, and claims, debts and taxes are processed. Probating an estate requires the appointment of representative of the estate either an Executor (if there is a will) or an Administrator (no will). Some of the duties of the representative are; collecting the assets; identifying the claims and debts; determining the names, addresses, and relationship of the heirs; assessing the validity of claims and debts; preparing the necessary tax returns; distributing the assets to the heirs and following the instructions of Probate Court.
