In most cases, regardless of whether the deceased had a will, the administration of the Estate can be done informally. As the word “informally” suggests, the process is less complicated and involves little or no court time. Regardless of whether the decedent dies with a Will, a Trust, or intestate (without a Will), I can help you through the process.
