Upon the demise of your loved one, his or her estate is frozen by law. The administration of the estate is a prerequisite for the release of the deceased’s estate in enabling the distribution of assets and wealth to the rightful beneficiaries.
Therefore, it is important to make proper and well-thought-out estate planning to ensure that the assets and wealth are distributed in accordance with the deceased’s intentions. This would help minimise potential family conflicts which may lead to litigation when the inevitable happens.
