Probate Court

If you are currently in the process of learning about Estate Planning, one term you will want to know about is Probate Court. If you are planning out your estate, your family should not have to worry about probate court, but let’s take a moment to talk about it. The definition of probate is the legal proceedings in which your estate is separated.

During court, your Living Trust will verify his or her authenticity. Next, your assets will be assessed for the total value. Once that is done, your taxes and fees will be paid and the remaining assets will be distributed. It is important to remember that if you do plan out your estate ahead of time, your loved ones can avoid probate court, which can be stressful and tiresome for a grieving family.
