An estate refers to a person's total assets, including their property, money, and belongings, at the time of their death. This can include real estate like houses and land, as well as personal items such as jewelry and vehicles. The management and distribution of an estate are often guided by a legal document called a will, which outlines how the deceased wishes their assets to be divided among heirs or beneficiaries. Estates can also refer to large areas of land, often associated with a particular family or individual. These estates may include farms, gardens, and even historical buildings. In this context, estates can be significant for their cultural or historical value, often attracting visitors interested in heritage and architecture.
