What happens after the probate letters are issued?
Our firm will advise on all the details and the in’s and out’s of such process. The executor will first need to determine what are the assets and, using the probate letters, get title to them into his or her name as executor of the estate. The court appoints a “probate referee” to determine the value of non-cash assets, such as real estate.
At the same time, the executor will need to determine to whom the decedent owed money and send a notice of the death to the creditors. If there is no dispute, the executor should pay those bills. We will also determine whether any estate tax is owed.
