The estate’s claim
A separate claim covers costs and suffering before death.
What it covers
- Emergency, hospital and medical expenses
- Funeral, burial or cremation costs
- Conscious pain and suffering before death, if any
This claim belongs to the estate and is brought by its personal representative.
Probate court
Usually, the probate court in the county where the person lived appoints an administrator or executor and issues letters of administration or testamentary. We help families through that step.
