What is probate?

Bookmark and Share

Probate is nothing more than the orderly transition of assets per the instructions of a Will.

This process used to be a nightmarish, but it has been simplified. Many estates, if they are put together properly and are uncontested, can be probated and completed in less than 6 – 8 months.

The operative words here are “put together properly.” If you are asking this question in the first place, then its probably time for a new accountant. Call our offices today.
