Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison: A Full-Service Law Firm
The Role of an Estate Administration Lawyer
An estate administrator basically ensures that all of stipulations in the will are carried out in a timely manner. Other duties include collecting any income that is owed to the estate; paying any outstanding debts, including income taxes; withholding any inheritance taxes; and, finally, distributing the remaining financial assets to the rightful beneficiaries. Contact Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison to arrange for a confidential consultation with one of our estate administration lawyers.
We Can Advise You as an Estate Administrator or Act as Your Designated Administrator
One can only become an estate administrator by designation by the court. The process involves applying to the court for a grant of letters of administration. If the deceased has already named their preferred estate administrator, the courts will usually honor the request.
If someone has named you their executor or estate administrator in their will, the Monroe, North Carolina, estate administration lawyers at Caldwell Helder Helms & Robison can assist you with the application process, including the identification of the appropriate court to which you should apply. Or, if you are looking for a trusted agent to act as your administrator, we will be happy to assist you.
Contact our estate administration attorneys for further information and assistance with all of your North Carolina estate administration needs.
