Supervised Administration
Supervised Administration
Supervised administration requires court approval for significant actions taken during probate, providing additional oversight in estates where disputes, complex assets, or a will’s specific terms call for closer judicial involvement. O’Gorman and Sandroni represent personal representatives and beneficiaries through this more formal process.
When Supervised Administration Applies
An estate may proceed under supervised administration when the will requires it, when beneficiaries request it, or when the court determines it is necessary to protect the interests of creditors, beneficiaries, or the estate itself.
