What is anancillaryadministration?
An ancillary administration is a type of probate process that applies when the decedent (the person who has died) owned property in two or more states. The process applies when the primary probate process was filed in another state, and the North Carolina probate process is only being used to handle the property in North Carolina. This type of probate process can be used to transfer title to real estate or other personal property in North Carolina, but it is limited to those assets. An ancillary administration does not provide the executor of the estate with the powers that a regular North Carolina probate gives, such as collecting and distributing the assets of the estate. It is also important to note that it does not provide for any creditor claims against the estate, as they must be handled in the primary probate process or in the state where the decedent lived.
