Our team offers estate administration services so you and your family can focus on honoring your loved one’s memory.
When someone passes away, their assets, finances, and obligations do not suddenly disappear. These matters must be properly managed and resolved, which is where estate administration comes in. Estate administration is the legal process of gathering a person’s assets, paying off debts and taxes, and distributing what remains to heirs or beneficiaries.
Even in families who get along well, this procedure can quickly become complicated. Real estate must be evaluated and transferred, financial accounts may be frozen until probate is concluded, and creditors must be notified and compensated. If the person who passed away ran a business, made investments, or left behind unclear records, the difficulties escalate. Without competent direction, errors in these processes might result in costly delays, family discord, or even legal problems.
In the Mooresville, North Carolina area, our team at Jones, Childers, Donaldson & Webb, PLLC knows a thing or two about estate administration. After all, we have provided legal services throughout the area since 1962. What this means for you is that we know how to handle probate courts, tax filings, and asset transfers in an expedient and legally compliant manner.
We can also assist executors or administrators—who are often grieving family members—in carrying out their fiduciary duties without undue stress. Additionally, our experience in these matters helps reduce liability by ensuring debts and taxes are properly managed and distributions are distributed fairly.
Perhaps most important during this time is that we offer peace of mind. Instead of stressing about whether every step was taken correctly, you and your family can concentrate on honoring your loved one’s memory and supporting one another.
