Probate Process
Whether there is a will in place or not, an estate must go through probate after someone passes. This means assets, property, and funds are accounted for and held while liabilities are dealt with. These liabilities may be money owed to creditors, taxes, and any court settlements that need to be paid. An estate administrator oversees the payment of debt. Once that process is complete, assets can be distributed to beneficiaries.
There are strict guidelines and timelines for how the probate process is handled. Once a notice of death is filed and the process begins, it may prove overwhelming for a family member or estate administrator. A compassionate and knowledgeable estate planning attorney from the Law Office of Mike J. Demers, PLLC, can help ensure the process is smooth and handled legally.
