The purpose of probate is to distribute the assets of an estate after the owner of that estate has died. If the decedent had a valid will at the time of their passing, probate can be a simple process. However, probate can become more complicated when there is no will, there is a will that is invalid, or a valid will is contested.

An executor is a person who is appointed to oversee the probate and estate administration process for a specific estate. A friend or family member typically serves as the executor for their loved one’s estate. Because most executors are accepting these responsibilities for the first time, seeking legal counsel to learn about their role is often beneficial.
The duties of the executor of an estate include:
Fulfilling your duties as an executor can be difficult — especially if the estate has a high value or unique types of assets. Luckily, the cost of legal advice can be covered by the estate, and you can be sure that you are handling the estate properly and avoid charges of mishandling.
