Probate refers to the legal process of validating the will and appointing the executor. Estate administration encompasses all activities involved in managing and settling the estate according to the will, including distributing assets and paying debts.
The duration can vary depending on the complexity of the estate and the court’s schedule. Typically, obtaining probate can take several weeks to several months.
Probate is not always mandatory, but it is often necessary when dealing with larger estates or when real estate is involved, as it legally validates the executor’s authority to act.
Complications can arise from incomplete records, disputes among heirs, inaccuracies in the will, or challenges to the will’s validity.
Yes, an executor can decline their role. If this occurs, an alternate executor named in the will can take over, or if none is available, the court may appoint someone.
