Probate is the legal process that takes place after someone passes away to distribute the person’s assets if the person died without a will (referred to as “intestate”) or with a will.

Probate involves proving that the deceased person's will is valid, distributing their assets according to the will (or the state's laws if there’s no will), and settling any outstanding debts or taxes. The need for probate depends on the size and complexity of the estate.

Probate can be a lengthy and emotional process. We know this time can be overwhelming, but we are here to guide you through the process step by step and answer any questions you may have.

A will is a legal document that outlines how you want your assets distributed after you pass away, but it only takes effect after your death and goes through probate.

A trust, on the other hand, is a legal entity that allows you to transfer assets while you are still alive, avoiding probate and providing more control over how and when your assets are distributed. Unlike a will, a trust can also be used to manage your assets if you become incapacitated.

We know the legal nuances can sometimes be confusing. Give us a call to see which legal instrument would be appropriate for your situation.
