What is probate?

Probate is the legal process of distributing a deceased person’s assets and paying their debts.

The timeline varies but typically ranges from 6 months to a year, depending on the complexity.

Some assets can bypass probate if proper estate planning is in place, such as trusts or joint ownership arrangements.

While not legally required, an experienced probate attorney can make the process smoother and reduce potential conflicts.
