Probate

Indianapolis Probate Attorney

Coots, Henke & Wheeler, Attorneys at Law, P.C.

Probate is really just a simple series of steps that are taken to tie up the loose ends of a person's life after they have passed away. Estate administration simply involves managing the care and distribution of the estate according to that person's wishes.

In probate, the assets, debts, property, and other possessions of the decedent's estate are collected and inventoried first. Then, any outstanding debts are then paid and the remainder is then distributed to heirs in accordance with the person's will.

When a legal will cannot be found or does not exist, the remainder of the estate will be distributed to those whom the probate judge has determined are the person's rightful heirs.
