Mastering Estate Finances
A Detailed Accounting Of An Estate
The requirements for administering estate assets and property might be controlled by a Will and trust or may require a probate proceeding if there is no Will or Trust. Assets accidentally left out of a trust may also necessitate a probate.
In general, an administrator or executor follows this process:
- Gathers detailed information about existing assets and debts of the estate
- Pays the debts
- Distributes the remaining assets
When administering an estate as part of a probate, there are often additional filing requirements and deadlines.
