Probate and Estates
Probate court is needed to enforce a Will and appoint an executor or administrator to an estate. The courts can also officially identify someone’s heirs. In some cases, the court’s involvement ends after one hearing. In other cases, the courts oversee every aspect of an estate, including paying bills, collecting assets, selling property, and making distributions. It can be time-consuming and costly, so many people try to avoid it through proper estate planning.
