Probate & Trust Administration
Probate and Trust Administration involves managing the distribution of a deceased person’s estate, either through probate court or according to the terms of a trust. This includes validating the will, paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets to beneficiaries or heirs, often overseen by a trustee or executor, as part of the larger estate planning process.
