Probate Legal Advice
When a person dies, someone has to deal with their affairs. This is called administering the estate. Bereavement is often a distressing time for all concerned and taking on this task can be a daunting prospect. Administering an estate can be a lengthy process of information gathering and paperwork, calculations and correspondence, accounts and settlements.
