EstateService is a term that can refer to a variety of services related to the management and administration of an estate. An estate typically comprises all the assets and liabilities of a deceased person. Estate services encompass a broad range of activities designed to settle the deceased's affairs, distribute their assets to beneficiaries, and fulfill any legal or financial obligations.

These services can be provided by various professionals, including estate lawyers, executors, administrators, financial advisors, and specialized estate planning companies. The specific services offered often depend on the complexity of the estate and the wishes of the deceased as outlined in their will or through estate planning documents.

Common estate services include the process of probate, which is the legal validation of a will and the subsequent administration of the estate. This often involves identifying and valuing all assets, paying off debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property according to the will or intestacy laws. Estate services can also involve managing trusts, handling real estate transactions related to the estate, and providing advice on estate tax matters. In some cases, it may also include managing personal property and arranging for the disposal or distribution of belongings. The ultimate goal of estate services is to ensure a smooth and legally compliant transfer of assets from the deceased to their heirs or beneficiaries.
