Probate Administration

When we talk about PROBATE ATTORNEY MASSACHUSETTS so we also need to understand that probate administration also play a vital role. Probate Administration is a legal process that addresses the disposition and distribution of a deceased’s estate. It begins with a petition to open the estate and name a personal representative. The personal representative is either an executor (if the deceased died testate, that is, with a Will) or an administrator (if the person died intestate, without a Will).

The representative is responsibly distributing the deceased’s property. After the personal representative is appointed, the creditors are notified by an official Notice of Creditors printed in a local newspaper, and a Notice of Administration sent to other involved parties.

Creditors then have a specific period during which they may file their claims. Once the creditors make their claims, the personal representative may pay whatever debts are owed.

After that, the representative distributes the remaining estate. Finally, a discharge petition is filed, and the estate is closed.
