How Does Probate Work in North Carolina?

In North Carolina, the probate process is overseen by the Clerk of Superior Court and involves several formal steps. After a death occurs, the estate must be opened with the court in New Bern, and a personal representative is officially appointed. That representative is responsible for gathering assets, valuing property, paying valid debts, and managing tax obligations. Once these duties are complete, the estate can be closed and assets distributed according to the will or state law. Each stage comes with legal deadlines and procedural rules that must be followed closely.
