Avoid Probate and Messy Estate Settlement
If you do not make arrangements for your assets, such as a will before you die, everything you own will be transferred to the Probate Court. A Trustee or Estate Executor will then oversee your estate and everything must be approved through a Probate Judge. The process can take months, if not years to complete. It can be a messy, complicated, frustrating process. Filing a Last Will and Testament will not prevent your estate from the probate process. But filing a will typically shortens the process.
You can easily avoid probate and have your assets distributed according to your wishes by taking time now to plan ahead. Make the process an none or at least easy probate and estate settlement process for your loved ones.
