Navigating legal matters with peace of mind: Expert guidance. Timely resolution
Probate is the court-supervised process of settling a person’s estate after they pass away. If someone dies without a living trust—or with only a will—their estate must generally go through probate before assets can be distributed to heirs or beneficiaries. The probate court appoints an executor (or administrator if there is no will), oversees the collection and inventory of assets, pays debts and taxes, and ultimately approves distributions to heirs. While probate serves an important legal function, it is widely regarded as one of the least desirable ways to transfer property at death.
Many families are surprised by the burdens of probate. Some of the key disadvantages include:
Once probate begins, the court takes charge. A judge—not the family— has the final say on nearly every aspect of the process.
Probate can be confusing, overwhelming, and full of strict legal requirements. Most executors have never gone through the process before, yet the court expects everything to be done correctly and on time. That’s where we come in.
