An estate is all of an individual’s property and financial assets and liabilities at the time of his or her death.
An estate might include a home and other real estate owned by an individual, as well as valuables such as jewelry
The contents of an estate are distributed according to the owner’s will upon death. If the total value of the estate exceeds a certain limit, then assets passed on to heirs may be subject to an estate tax.
