Read on for an overview of the process.
Estate Executors: Rights and Responsibilities
The executor of someone’s estate ensures that the decedent’s last wishes are followed in the distribution of assets and property. Furthermore, the executor of a voluntad is charged with making sure a decedent’s debts are paid off by state and federal laws and estate taxes are paid in the allotted time.
Estate executors must adhere to the highest standard of honesty and diligence. Often, it is in the best interest of all parties for an executor to call in the help of financial or legal experts. Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC’s team has years of experience helping executors navigate the requirements.

Estate Administration In The Absence Of A Will
Without an up-to-date and valid will, a judicial proceeding will commence according to state law to determine heirs. Interstate law states that if there are no living relatives, the estate transfers to the government, which is called escheat. Escheats can be avoided by planning for the unimaginable before death.
If you or a loved one has yet to create a valid, up-to-date will, please contact Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC for help with this important task. If a deceased’s will is lost or contested by family members, the same probate court mentioned above will resolve the conflicts and distribute assets.
