Estates - Translated in Tongan

DECEASED ESTATES Dealing with the loss of a whanau/family member or a friend is always difficult. If you are an Executor or Administrator there will be a number of important matters for you to deal with after the death, however, many people are unaware of what is expected of Executors when winding up estates.
