A Brief Overview Of The Probate Process

In North Carolina, probate takes one of two tracks. If your loved one died with a will or trust in place, their stated wishes take priority. Otherwise, North Carolina has probate laws that determine how to manage the estate and distribute property.

As the executor of the estate (often the deceased’s closest blood relative), you are responsible for following the probate laws. You must ensure that you account for the estate in full, including any investments, assets and other property. You will need to pay any and all bills, including debts and funeral expenses. Then, you must distribute the property appropriately. A misstep can lead to the courts holding you personally responsible for the error.
