Is it ALWAYS better to open a Summary Administration rather than a Formal Probate Administration?

Posted by Shawn Newman | Aug 01, 2022 | 0 Comments

An experienced probate attorney will help you navigate whether a Summary Administration or a Formal Probate Administration is the appropriate course to take based not only on the value of the Estate assets but also on the totality of the circumstances of the potential creditors,  the relationship between heirs, and the value of the assets.
