When a loved one passes away with or without a Last Will and Testament the Probate Court can appoint an independent executor (if the decedent has a Will) or independent administrator (if the decedent does not have a Will) to be in charge of the estate. When the Probate Court allows that person to conduct the business of the estate free of court supervision the process is called an Independent Administration. This allows the executor or administrator to avoid the costs and delays associated with court supervision and is the most advantageous way to settle most types of estates. The attorneys at JORGESON PITTMAN LLP are prepared with the necessary tools to ensure your loved one's estate is handled as expeditiously and cost effectively as possible, regardless of the circumstances.
