Partners Barbara Snapp Danberg and Michele L. Muldoon and Attorney Nicholas M. Tyler authored two resources on Delaware estate administration with Practical Law, the legal research platform published by Thomson Reuters, including a Practice Note on ancillary probate in Delaware and a State Q&A guide to Delaware probate.

This Practice Note explains the process for administering Delaware property owned by someone who lived in another state at the time of death. It walks practitioners through when ancillary administration is required, the types of proceedings available, how to open and administer an ancillary estate, the handling of Delaware real property, and closing the estate.
