Probate is a necessary process if there are assets of the decedent that require judicial oversight to be legally transferred. In most cases, this includes real property, bank accounts, and stocks and bonds. The probate process also ensures that any distributions to heirs and devisees are fair and in accordance with the wishes of the decedent and state law. Finally, probate administers creditor’s claims and limits creditors from making claims 4 months after the probate process is initiated.
With no complications, the Probate process generally takes six to nine months.
A Small Estate Affidavit can be filed if the Fair Market Value of the estate is $275,000.00 or less. Of that amount, no more than $200,000.00 can be attributable to Real Property and no more than $75,000.00 can be attributable to personal property.
If you are married, have children, own property, and/or have a positive net worth, it is a good idea to have a will. If you die without a will, your assets will be distributed as state law governs.
Simply put, a Probate lawyer helps the Personal Representative of a Will (also known as the Executor, if one was appointed) or the beneficiaries of an estate through the process.
