Probate Law and Estate Administration

Shelton, Connecticut, Probate Administration Lawyer

Probate law refers to the process of determining the distribution of assets upon the death of an estate holder. In the case of a legal will, it is considered a testate matter for a probate court judge. It is generally a matter of ensuring that the will was legally executed and filed, prior to distributing assets. When no will has been written or found, the matter is considered intestate, and the final decisions regarding the distribution of assets are left in the hands of the probate courts. In the United States, we now consider all matters relating to probate courts to be a body of probate law, including the final details of estate administration and resolving disputes among beneficiaries who may be contesting the terms of the will.
