Why You Need a Probate Attorney

When wills go through the probate process, it is possible for them to be challenged. A probate attorney can make sure your will is in order to avoid running into these issues. Moreover, a probate attorney can advise your chosen executor on a variety of issues, including:

  • Determine if estate taxes are owed
  • Help prepare and file any documents necessary for probate court
  • Advise on how to pay off your remaining debts
  • Locate all of your assets
  • Appraise all of your assets and property
  • Manage the estate’s checkbook
  • Collect and manage the proceeds of your life insurance policy

The Probate Process

During the probate process, the executor you named in your will would prove the validity of your will in court, presenting a list of property, debts, and who will inherit what is left. Your creditors and relatives would then be notified of your death. If a loved one were to pass away without a will, the court would appoint an executor. Even a court-appointed executor can greatly benefit from hiring a probate attorney to help with the process of finding, securing, and managing all assets, which can take several months.

Although it can seem like a straightforward process, probate is often time-consuming and complex. In addition to already dealing with the loss of a loved one, it is often a relief to have legal help to carry some of the burden.
