Estate Law regulates wills, probate and other subjects related to the distribution of a deceased person’s estate. An estate is the net worth of a person at any point in time alive or dead. It is the sum of a person’s assets - legal rights, interests and entitlements to property of any kind - less all liabilities at that time. The issue is of special legal significance on a question of bankruptcy and death of the person.
