Common Probate Concerns

What is probate and why is it necessary?

Probate is the legal process by which a deceased person’s will is approved by the court as a valid public document that is the true last testament of the deceased. The process ensures that the deceased’s debts are paid and assets are distributed according to the will or, if there is no will, according to state laws.

How long does the probate process take?

The duration of the probate process can vary significantly, depending on the complexity of the estate and the presence of any legal challenges. Typically, probate can take anywhere from a few months to over a year. Our team at ASK Law Firm works diligently to streamline the process and reduce unnecessary delays, keeping you informed at every step.

What should I do if there is no will?

If a person dies intestate (without a will), the state laws of intestacy will determine how their assets are distributed. Navigating intestacy can be complex, and having an experienced probate attorney is crucial to ensure that the estate is handled fairly and according to the laws of your state.

How can I avoid probate?

Not all assets need to go through probate. Ways to avoid probate include having joint ownership with rights of survivorship, naming beneficiaries on policies and accounts (like life insurance and retirement accounts), and creating living trusts. Our attorneys can help you understand which assets can bypass probate and how to structure them to avoid the probate process.
