Probate is the process in which the will of the recently deceased is verified and filed by the Clerk of Court, the personal representative is appointed, debts and taxes are paid, and the property and assets are distributed according to the will.
Estate Administration is the similar process when one dies without a will. NC law and the Clerk of Court govern the payment of debts, and the distribution of property and assets by the personal representative. An experienced attorney can guide you through either process.
