Probate FAQ
Start here for answers.
What is probate?
Probate is the legal process of managing and distributing a deceased person’s estate. It may involve validating a will, settling debts, and distributing assets under court supervision.
How long does probate take?
It varies. Simple estates may take a few months; more complex or contested cases can take a year or more. We help streamline the process as much as possible.
Do all estates go through probate?
Not always. Smaller estates or those with properly structured trusts or joint ownership may avoid probate. We can help determine what’s required in your situation.
Can probate be avoided?
Yes, in some cases. Tools like trusts, beneficiary designations & joint ownership can help avoid probate—but they must be set up correctly in advance.
What if there is no will?
When someone dies without a will, the estate is considered “intestate.” State laws determine how assets are distributed. We help you navigate the court’s process.
