Estate administration is the process of managing and distributing a deceased person's assets according to their will or state law. This typically involves collecting assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing remaining property to beneficiaries. The process can vary significantly depending on whether the estate goes through probate or uses tools like revocable living trusts.
