Serving Your Probate, Administration and Estate Planning Needs
PAYING  OFF DEBTS OF THE DECEDENT
The debts of an estate must be paid.  Debts are to be paid before distribution of estate assets can be made to the beneficiaries.  Otherwise, if a claim is made against an estate within the statutory time frame, the Executor, Administrator, Distributees or Beneficiaries of the estate could be held liable for the amount of the claim if it is permitted by the Surrogate's Court.  ​See SCPA 8111
