The process of administering an estate can be extremely complicated, especially when dealing with large amounts of assets. If your loved one left behind a substantial estate, it is important that you understand how to handle this responsibly and efficiently to avoid unnecessary complications or spending. At Dynamic Estate Planning, we have a deep understanding of Georgia’s probate and trust administration laws, and our role is to ensure that the estate is properly distributed according to your loved one’s wishes.

What is Probate?

Probate is a judicial process that takes place after someone dies. It ensures that the deceased’s debts and taxes are paid, and his or her assets are distributed according to the wills they left behind. The probate court oversees this process and is authorized to appoint a representative of the estate, called an executor or administrator, and distribute the assets accordingly.

Probate begins as soon as someone dies and ends when all debts and taxes have been paid and all remaining property has been distributed according to their will (if there is any). Many people find probate frustrating because it can be costly and take a long time. Fortunately, probate can be avoided by preparing a living will and power of attorney, which is essentially a set of instructions for your loved ones to follow upon your death.

What is Trust Administration?

In contrast to probate, trust administration is a much less public legal process. A trust is an arrangement in which a property is legally transferred from one person (the trustee) to another (the beneficiary). Trusts can be set up as part of a will or as a separate entity with its own terms and conditions. 

Trust administration deals with the representation and distribution of property according to the terms set out by the trust. Trust administrators are responsible for reporting to the probate court on how assets have been distributed and must ensure that beneficiaries are properly notified of their status.
