EZ-ier Still [Re EZ Does It, March 31]: Your article about the company EZ-Probate stated: The estate can cover any legal fees, but the assets are often tied up in property that has to be vacated or sold. And outstanding debts can sometimes wipe out what little money an estate has, leaving families to pay the attorney s bill. This is generally false, since attorney fees and other costs of administering the estate are a first priority. Outstanding debts would not be paid until there are sufficient funds to pay the estate legal fees and other costs of administration, including the fee to the executor or administrator.
