Estate Administration

Estate Administration is the process of settling a Decedent's estate 

This is contrasted to the Estate Planning process,
which is the process of planning of one's final wishes during one's life

Estate Administration begins with the very simple Probate Process

Although the duration of an Estate Administration in Pa depends on many aspects,
most estates involve very time-consuming items, tasks, and duties

Be aware of your Executor's Duties

Providing various mandated court procedures
Filing of a Decedent's Final Income Tax Returns
Filing of the Inheritance Tax Return and/or Estate Tax Return
Filing of the Estate (and/or Trust) Fiduciary Income Tax Returns
Providing an accounting of all of the estate items, and/or
Distributing of the assets to the beneficiaries (Last Will) or heirs (no Last Will)
