To Probate…Or Not To Probate

 

Let’s start with a simple dictionary definition of probate.  Probate is defined as “the official proving of a will or the process to establish the validity of a will”.  As Baby Boomers age, more and more questions about this legal procedure are being asked.  Is probate necessary in my particular situation?  How long does the probate process take?  Do I need legal assistance to sort out the probate process?

 

Is probate necessary in my particular situation?

 

If you have heard that it is horribly expensive and as complicated as learning Mandarin Chinese you have probably been needlessly scared.  On many occasions the answer is simple…you and your family do not need probate.

 

How long does the probate process take?

 

In those cases where probate is necessary, it probably entails one 10-minute appearance before a judge then filing a simple motion which closes the estate.
