ESTATE ADMINISTRATION

PROBATE:  (Called Estate Administration in North Carolina)

Handling the complexities of the estate of a loved one can be difficult and confusing.  There are applications to submit, possible bonding to obtain, and periodic reports required by the Estates Division of the court. 

 

The Walls Law Group can assist you in sorting out and attending to these responsibilities.  Whether there was a will naming an Executor/Executrix , or no will for an estate which needs to be administered by a Personal Representative, we can help with:
 

  • Opening the estate and filing the will (if there is one), including qualification of the Executor/Personal Administrator

  • Providing notice to heirs of the Estate
