Probate is the legal process by which a decedent's last will and testament is proved to be valid and by which a representative is appointed by the Court to administer the estate.

Estate Administration is the process of collecting, accounting for and distributing a decedent's debts and estate taxes, if any.  This process follows immediately after probate for decedent's with wills but may also be necessary for those dying without a will.

It is so important to consult with a firm with expertise in this area of the law to insure that the estate is settled correctly and speedily.
