English term

to wind up estate

English Law/Patents Real Estate
The phrase is from dictionary, so I don't have any context.
Does it mean "to sell estate"?

TIA,

agree Robert Donahue (X) : Given the lack of context, it's how I see it too. To wind up the estate meaning to dispense the assets.

agree Armorel Young : not just selling things, of course, because it includes closing down the bank accounts of a person who has died and distributing the money in accordance with the person's will - or indeed giving everything away if that's their request

As Armorel points out, this may or may not involve selling, but it definitely involves distribution.
