Estate Administration
In Maryland, probate is the process of settling a deceased person’s estate, which involves the identification and collection of assets, the payment of the decedent’s liabilities and transferring ownership of assets to the beneficiaries named in the Last Will and Testament (“Will”) or to the heirs according to Maryland law. Laws governing estate administration can be found in the Maryland Rules of Procedure, Title 6 and the Estates and Trusts Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

What is a will?
Your will is the document in which you can name the person with authority to carry out your wishes and you can leave directions as to how you want your assets divided and when they can have those assets. In Maryland, your will must be signed by you and witnessed by two credible and disinterested witnesses in your presence.
