When an individual with a will passes away, probate administration begins. Probate administration is the process of verifying the validity of a will and transferring the assets of the deceased person to their stated beneficiaries.
The individual that carries out the directions set forth in a will is called an executor. This person often possesses an enormous amount of responsibility that can easily overwhelm someone, especially if other individuals have disputes regarding the executor’s management. Furthermore, the executor essentially acts as the defender of a deceased person’s property until all taxes and debts have been paid off and all assets have been dispersed accordingly.
