New Brunswick Estate Administration Attorney The Law Office of Steven M CytrynLosing a loved one is never easy, in fact it is often a traumatic experience that is difficult to recover from, even years down the road.

While these things can certainly make coping even more difficult, a caring estate administration and probate attorney at The Law Office of Steven M. Cytryn, LLC can assist with the challenges relating to handling your loved one’s estate.

What is Probate?

Probate is generally the first step in administering one’s estate after his or her passing. Probate is the process under which the decedent’s last will and testament is affirmed, and an executor is appointed to administer the estate.

If the decedent did not leave a last will and testament, probate is still necessary to appoint an executor over the estate.

Probate occurs in the surrogate court in the county in which the deceased party resided, regardless of where he or she passed away. Probate is an important and necessary component of administering the estate and must be conducted before the will can fully take effect, or assets may be distributed.

The New Jersey Estate Administration Process

Once probate has been attained, it is still necessary to actually administer the estate. Administration includes contacting beneficiaries, collecting assets, opening the appropriate accounts, determining how assets are to be divided, assessing possible tax consequences and filing the necessary tax returns, preparing accounting and eventually distributing assets.
