Deceased Estate Administration

A deceased estate comes into existence when a person dies. A person can die testate, thus leaving behind a document which is a will or purports to be a will, or a person can die inteste, thus not leaving behind a will.

All estates must be administered and distributed by an executor.

It is essential when appointing an executor that you consider nominating someone who you and your family members can trust, and who will finalize the estate in an efficient yet empathetic way.
