In what state should an out of court administration take place?
There are situations where the decedent died residing in one state, real estate is located in another state, the Trust was written in a third state, and beneficiaries live in a fourth state. This is what is called a multi-state trust. Again, this is a complicated question. But usually, the rules of the state in which the decedent resided at death are the ones that are followed although the other states’ laws may have to be considered depending upon the circumstances.
