Estate Administration FAQs

Common questions about probate and settling an estate.

  • What’s the difference between probate and estate administration?

    Probate is the court-supervised process of validating a will. Estate administration covers the broader process of managing and distributing a deceased person’s assets—whether or not a will exists.

  • How long does estate administration take in North Carolina?

    It depends on the complexity of the estate, but most cases take 6 to 12 months. We help streamline the process to avoid unnecessary delays.

  • Do all estates have to go through probate?

    Not always. Smaller estates or those with certain assets (like joint accounts or trusts) may bypass full probate. We can help determine the best path forward.

  • Can I be held personally liable as an executor?

    If you follow legal requirements and work with an attorney, you reduce your risk significantly. We ensure executors stay compliant and protected throughout the process.
