Bridging the gap between legal documents and financial strategy


What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process that happens after someone dies, where a court:

confirms the person’s will is valid (if they had one)
appoints someone to handle the estate (an executor)
makes sure debts and taxes are paid
distributes the remaining money/property to heirs
Is the probate a process Public?

In most cases, once a will is filed with the probate court—or if there is no will—it becomes part of the public record, meaning people can often access:                               

  1. The will 
  2. The estate inventory (assets and values)
  3. Debts and creditor claims
  4. Who inherits what
  5. Executor/personal representative information

What is the cost of the Probate Process

As a general estimate, probate often costs about 3% to 7% of the estate’s total value

Does a Trust and or Will Avoid probate?

  1. A properly funded trust can help assets pass outside of probate.
  2. In contrast, if you rely solely on a will, your estate will generally be required to go through the probate process.
