administration and distribution of the estate


Explanation:
arguably not settlement as is ambiguous for settling the estate, namely creating a trust-type settlement over the assets.

NB distribution includes vesting and *assenting* of gifts to the rightful beneficiaries.




Example sentence(s):
  • Bei der Auseinandersetzungsvollstreckung organisiert der Testamentsvollstrecker den Nachlass, begleicht die Schulden und verteilt das verbleibende Vermögen zwischen den Erben und sonstigen Berechtigten
  • The Administration of Estates Act 1925/S34 (3) sets out the order in which the deceased's estate should be used to pay their debts and funeral costs and costs of administering the estate.
