What is an Estate?
All the property that a person owns is part of his or her estate. An estate can include clothes, jewelry, tools, cars, musical instruments, a house, land the house is built on, cash, bank accounts, retirement accounts, stocks, bonds, and other items. After a person dies, his or her estate must be distributed.
How the estate is distributed on the death of the deceased depends on if the person has a Will (dies testate) or without a Will (dies intestate). It also depends if there are any written Trusts or any letter of instructions.
In certain countries or jurisdiction, the deceased estate have to settle Estate Duty before the estate are released to beneficiaries.
