Are you an Executor of a Will? Feeling overwhelmed with the responsibilities and duties that encompass administering an Estate? Here at Antunes Lawyers we specialise in all things Wills and Estates and are here to guide you through the process.
What is Estate Administration?
Estate administration is the process where an Executor will carry out their job under the Will, by finalising the assets of the estate and distributing the estate to the beneficiaries nominated under the Will.
An Executor of an Estate, is not obliged to engage the Law Firm who initially drafted the deceased’s Will when undergoing the estate administration process. In fact, it is more beneficial to engage a firm known for their expertise in this area.
