When a loved one passes away, their estate will often go through the court-managed process called probate. This is when and where their assets are distributed and managed if there is no will. If your loved one has a trust or will then the court-managed process would not be necessary unless you want to transfer ownership of the assets.

 

In most cases, typically the spouse or an adult child will be appointed if there is no will for the deceased. That appointed person will be officially declared the representative or executor of the estate. Once the person has been granted the power, they can then gather and value any remaining assets, settle any bills, and then distribute any remaining assets to their beneficiaries.
