Make Probate Less Difficult

During the estate planning process, our lawyers can explain which assets and property are exempt from probate such as:

  • Assets that have a legal beneficiary named, such as for a life insurance policy
  • Jointly-owned property that goes directly to the other owner(s)
  • Assets held in a trust

The executor or administrator of the estate will distribute assets and property after paying all debts of the estate.
