Frequently Asked Questions

There are often alternatives to probate in each state across the United States. It really depends on the value of the estate and the kind of assets in the estate. Sometimes, probate is the only way, but it is important to speak to an attorney before taking action.
Whether you are young or old, rich or poor, married or single, if you own titled assets such as a house and want your loved ones to avoid court interference at your death or incapacity, consider a revocable living trust. A trust allows you to bring all of your assets together under one plan.
Estate planning isn’t just for people with large estates. Anyone who owns assets, has children, or wants to make sure decisions are handled in case of incapacity can benefit. A good estate plan helps provide clarity, protect loved ones, and ensure your wishes are respected.
Relatively small estates valued at $208,850 or less may avoid probate or use an expedited process, but larger estates typically require advance planning.
In addition to attorney fees, probate involves other expenses, including court filing fees, publication fees, and appraisal costs. Some of these may need to be advanced by the personal representative, but overall, a lawyer ensures that all costs are handled properly and in the correct order.
