What Happens if You Die with a Valid Will
You can appoint your representative to administer your estate upon your death if you have a will. This person is responsible for gathering and protecting your assets, giving notice to and paying all debts, distributing property to your beneficiaries, and settling any outstanding taxes or other fees.
The representative may retain the services of a probate attorney, an accountant, or other professionals to help with the probate process. The probate court will want to hear from the personal representative regularly. A probate attorney can explain the process to you so you understand it and be able to prepare for it better.
