If a loved one has recently passed away, on top of all your other duties and concerns you are probably faced with the challenge of settling your loved one’s estate. The estate administration process is for families whose loved one has passed away and left an estate plan to follow. Depending on the type of planning done by your loved one, estate administration may also require probate. If your loved one passed away without any planning at all, you will definitely have to settle the estate though probate.

• Asset valuation
• Locating assets
