How do I settle an estate when a loved one dies?
First, you must determine what type of estate you are dealing with...
- Large Decedents' Estates (ADM) are opened for deceased persons who, at the time of death, lived in the District of Columbia and owned real property located in the District of Columbia and/or other assets of any value. A personal representative will be appointed to administer the estate.
- Small Decedents' Estates (SEB) are opened for deceased persons who, at the time of death, lived in the District of Columbia and owned assets with a total value of $40,000.00 or less.
- Foreign Decedents' Estates (FEP) are opened for people who, at the time of death, lived outside the District of Columbia but owned assets in the District of Columbia.
