The necessary steps to administer an estate and determine an inheritance varies based on the estate planning decisions that were made during the lifetime of the deceased individual. Our professional legal counsel can guide you through the complex requirements to ensure a successful administration process.

Time Sensitive Administration

Estate administration often involves preparing many time-sensitive forms and making decisions that have tax and other serious consequences. Common steps for propate administration include the following.

  • Prepare an accounting and value for all assets
  • Change the title of the deceased’s property
  • Elect a payout under a retirement plan
  • Pay taxes to state and federal authorities
