What is Probate?
Probate is a legal process in which assets of a deceased individual (a decedent) are handled. This can include ensuring the validity of wills,
preparing an executor of an estate, finding all assets, paying estate taxes, identifying heirs, and distributing assets to those heirs.
Probate can be time consuming and expensive, so being prepared early will help your loved ones in the future.
What Happens?
When a person dies without a valid will or an asset is not covered by a valid will, then probate must occur. This is managed through Probate Court
and probate law dictates how the assets of a decedent are handled. These assets can include (but not limited to):
Bank accounts
Stocks/bonds
Estates
Items inside estates
When a decedent does leave a valid will, probate is still necessary. However, the will is what guides the probate to distribute the assets
accordingly. Probate laws are there to ensure that the wishes of the decedent are followed.
The probate process is not meant to be quick or simple, but with a qualified lawyer the process can be smooth. Every situation is different
and probate law is meant to be comprehensive to ensure everything is covered. Sometimes it is easier to try and avoid as much probate as possible.
David Whipple can help you prepare for the future and get everything in place so your loved ones can avoid as much of the process as possible.
