What is Probate?

Probate is the process through which the estate of the deceased is administered. If the deceased person left a will, then it governs the disposition of the estate. If there is no will, then a different process is followed.​

Probate courts will generally do the following things to administer an estate:

  • Determine if there is a valid will
  • Complete an inventory of all your property and assets
  • Appraise all of the property and assets in the estate
  • Distribute all of the property in accordance with the will or the orders of the probate judge

How Can I Avoid Probate?

If you are concerned that your family and intended beneficiaries won't be able to obtain the property you leave behind after you pass away, then please reach out to us so we can determine which of the following estate planning tools you need:

  • Living trusts
  • Last will and testament
  • Transfer-on-death deeds for real estate
  • Transfer-on-death registration for vehicles
  • Transfer-on-death registration for securities
