Once the estate has cleared the probate or
probate litigation process, the administration of an estate is legally
allowed to be carried out according to your wishes, and any court ordered
modifications which may have been ordered in probate court. Estate
administration may go beyond simply distributing the property and assets of
your estate.
There may be parts of the estate which have
been set to specific requirements, milestones, or other specifications. In some
cases, the deceased may have identified someone they trust, typically a family
member, to carry out the future implementation and administration of the
estate, or they may choose to have their attorney carry out these duties and
responsibilities.
