If you have the task of probating an estate of the deceased, it can be a challenging and draining experience. Your responsibilities may include making sure creditors are paid, filing estate taxes, finding the estate’s heirs or documenting the estate’s inventory. Most people are overwhelmed at the challenges.

Understanding Probate

When a person passes away, their families will go through a process called Probate. This is a legal process whereby the deceased’s estate is administered. Property of the estate is distributed according to the will and all claims or disputes must be resolved.

Is an Estate Plan Necessary?

Yes, an estate plan is very necessary. It’s a legal document drafted and executed with the aid of a Probate attorney. It outlines the method in which the deceased’s assets will be transferred. It allows a person, while living, to decide how finances and medical care should be handled in case of a disability or death. An estate plan may include trusts, health care instructions, wills and Power of Attorney. To sort through the mountain of legalities, a qualified Probate Attorney should be consulted.

What Does an Executor Do?

Executors are placed in charge of probating a will. Responsibilities can range from tax filing and making sure creditors get paid, to communicating with heirs and keeping an inventory of all estate assets. The job can be challenging and qualified probate lawyers can provide valuable assistance.
