Administering an Estate: What You Need to Know

In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, when an individual passes away, any and all possessions owned by the decedent will go into their estate. In the simplest of terms the purpose of estate administration is to pay off debts to all creditors the decedent owed money to during their lifetime, pay all taxes owed, and distribute the remaining money in the estate to the beneficiaries. In order to determine who the beneficiaries are, it must first be determined whether or not a valid will was in place at the time of the decedent’s death. If a valid will was in place, the assets in the estate will be distributed in accordance with the will.
