<p>Beneficiaries to an estate have the right to a full accounting of estate assets. This can happen at many stages of the estate administration process, including before and after probate. At Walsh LLP, we are experienced and knowledgeable estate litigation lawyers who will advise you on your rights as a beneficiary and how to exercise them.</p>

<h2>Analyzing Estate Finances</h2>

<p>Accounting of estate assets involves a detailed and often technical itemizing of the assets and liabilities of the estate &mdash; in short, what a testator owned and what he or she owed. A personal representative (executor or administrator) has a legal responsibility to perform many duties with regards to the estate, including asset distribution, filing of taxes and payment of debts. Additionally, personal representatives and trustees are required to provide an accounting of estate assets to beneficiaries before a final distribution is made.</p>

<p>When estate assets are not properly accounted for, legal action may be appropriate. As a beneficiary, you can take action to have the personal representative (<a href="/_page104" target="_self">executor or administrator) removed</a>. At Walsh LLP, we will work with you to understand your concerns regarding the estate assets and take the appropriate legal steps to meet your legal needs.</p>
