How Probate & Estate Administration Function
Probate enables a court to interpret and carries out the provisions of a deceased individual’s will. What the decedent, or testator, has written in their will explains how they want their assets and debts to be distributed to named beneficiaries when they pass away. Estate administration includes the probate process in addition to other processes that transfer the decedent’s property and debts.
Other types of assets to transfer in estate planning include:
- Life insurance benefits
- Annuities
- Assets established in a living trust
- Estate tax obligations
In most estate plans, you will begin by creating a will, a trust, or sometimes both. As the estate plan develops, you may find a need to use other estate planning tools and advanced directives. Our Fishers elder law attorneys are here to help you understand what advanced directives may be useful to you and why. For the most part, advanced directives discuss what medical treatments you would like should you become debilitated, and who is granted the power to make medical-related decisions on your behalf.
