Probate & Trust Administration

Probate is the process by which an individual is appointed to administer the estate of a decedent according to the terms of their will. Probate administration involves paying bills, notifying heirs and beneficiaries, inventorying the estate, and carrying out other duties. Once the general preparation and duties of the administrator are complete, a petition is filed to distribute the estate amongst the heirs and beneficiaries.

A trust is generally used to avoid as much of the probate process as possible. Trust administration occurs when the executor of the trust recognizes that all provisions, terms, and requirements are met, and that the distribution or administration of the trust is necessary. The major difference between administration of a trust and probate administration is that the trust administration does not require court supervision.
