Connecticut Probate Attorney
When a person dies without a will, Connecticut law sets forth guidelines for how the estate is to be distributed among the heirs. If you have been named the administrator of an estate without a will, you have a number of responsibilities. Among the duties involved in intestate administration are:
- Identifying and notifying beneficiaries
- Filing and paying income and estate taxes
- Liquidating and collecting assets
- Addressing creditor claims
- Distributing assets to beneficiaries in accordance with the laws of intestacy
It is important to handle all of these legal matters with care and attention to detail. A misstep could lead to costly disputes or expose you to liability. An experienced estate administration attorney can help you understand and execute your responsibilities as the administrator of an intestate estate.
