Probate Administration
Estate Administration
Probate Administration results after a person dies whether they have a Will or do not have a Will. Their assets transfer through probate which is a process that is supervised by the Clerk of Superior Court of the County in which an individual resides at the time of death.
Probate involves the appointment of a Personal Representative (Executor if there is a Will; Administrator if there is no Will) to handle the estate, the filing of forms relating to a disclosure of assets, paying the debts of the estate and ultimately assuring proper distribution of assets under the Will or under the law. Robert Whitt has assisted Personal Representatives in handling probate cases for over 40 years. His initial approach is to see whether a shortened form of probate can be utilized in order to not expose his client to the entire probate process if that is possible.
Even when a shortened form of probate is not possible, Robert Whitt handles all matters of Probate Administration at his office so that the client is never required to go to the courthouse. He handles all matters before the Clerk of Court for the client. He assists the Personal Representative in marshaling assets, handling the payment of claims and debts against the estate, assisting with the proper distribution of assets and any other issues that may arrive during the administration of an estate. This legal representation takes the burden off of the Personal Representative as it relates to dealing with the Clerk of Court and dealing with creditors’ claims. Robert Whitt has handled probate matters and estate administration in many counties of the State of North Carolina. His practice, regarding estate administration, is not limited to just the surrounding counties.
