MENU Administering An Estate Administering an estate is the term given to the complex process involved in carrying out the wishes within your Will. Typically, this role is given to the executor of the Will, which is usually a family member or close friend of the deceased. Due to the complex and time consuming nature of the role, it can be incredibly difficult to act as an executor, particularly during what is an emotional and challenging time. This can be made even more complex if the individual died ‘intestate’, meaning they did not make a Will. Our team has a wealth of experience in estate administration, so you can feel confident that our advice and support will be professional, understanding and tailored to your needs and the needs of your loved ones.
