What Is Probate & Estate Administration?

Probate is the legal process of validating a will, settling debts, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. Estate Administration involves managing the estate of someone who has passed away, including cases where no will exists. Both processes can be complex, but our experienced team simplifies them for you.
