Benefits of Working with a Probate Attorney:
Filing Of A Petition With The Proper Probate Court
To initiate the probate proceeding, you must file a petition with the local probate court in the county of the decedent’s residence.
Payment Of Estate Taxes, If Applicable
This typically involves calculating the total value of the estate to determine if it exceeds the threshold for federal and/or state estate taxes.
Notice To Heirs Under The Will Or To Statutory Heirs (If No Will Exists)
This notice is crucial for ensuring transparency and fairness in the distribution of the deceased’s assets.
Inventory And Appraisal Of Estate Assets By Executor/Administrator
This process is a critical first step in administering an estate, as it establishes a clear record of what the deceased owned at the time of their death.
Petition To Appoint Executor (In The Case Of A Will) Or Administrator For The Estate
This petition requests the court to officially appoint an individual to manage and distribute the deceased’s estate.
Payment Of Estate Debt To Rightful Creditors
This step is essential before distributing the remaining assets to the heirs or beneficiaries.
Sale Of Estate Assets
refers to the process in which certain assets from the deceased’s estate are sold by the executor or administrator.
Final Distribution Of Assets To Heirs
This step occurs only after all debts, taxes, and administrative expenses have been settled and all necessary asset sales are completed.
“The amount of paperwork involved in probate and estate process is enough to make many people seek help from a professional.”
