When you die and you have assets in your own individual name, those assets are distributed through the probate process. Not all of your assets will go through probate as your life insurance, IRA and 401k and annuities all have beneficiary designations. As part of probate and your estate plan, we will make sure you know the legal differences and how to plan accordingly.
Probate was created to make sure your bills are paid, taxes are paid and assets are distributed to the correct place. Probate is not a tax that makes the government money; it is an orderly process of wrapping up a decedent's affairs.
