What is Probate?
The legal process of changing the title of a deceased person’s assets. Probate assets include tangible items such as real estate properties, car, boat, jewelry, art furniture, household goods, etc.
How can I avoid probate?
A living trust will avoid probate at the time of the settlor’s death.
How long does probate take?
Probate could take anywhere from 6 months to a year. Possibly longer if family disputes the case or other issues arise. Each situation is unique and you may want to consult with attorney for any legal counsel.
Is Probate Expensive?
Probate could be very costly, depending on factors such as value of the estate. Costs include filing fee of probate petition, filing fees for the distribution of the estate assets, and other miscellaneous fees.
If the probate is contested by family members, additional court fees will apply as the case becomes more complicated.
Do I need probate, even if I have a will?
You will still need to go through probate court if the property is not in a trust. A will alone is not enough.
