Estate Planning | 3 Things Every Individual Should Know About Probate<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Estate Planning |<\/a>\u00a0Probate is the process of administering a person\u2019s estate after they have died. The laws guiding this process change from State to State. When a person dies, their estate is administered in the state where the decedent lived. A probate attorney in that state can provide you with the specific administration requirements under that state\u2019s laws. However, the following is some general information regarding the probate process and the estate planning.<\/span><\/p>\n

What exactly is a Probate?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Probate is a process that ensures that the estate, property, money, and belongings of a deceased person are distributed according to either his or her will. Alternatively, if there is no will, each state has laws regarding how an estate will be administered if it is intestate (just a fancy word for \u201cno will\u201d). In Florida, the person appointed to administer an estate is called the Personal Representative. \u00a0The Personal Representative can be someone appointed by the deceased\u2019s will or who is an interested party appointed by the Court. Some types of probate administration in Florida require an attorney to represent the Personal Representative.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Role of Court?<\/b><\/h3>\n

A Probate court has some duties that it fulfills. A Court may \u00a0verify that the deceased person\u2019s will is valid. Then, the court appoints a person who is responsible for identifying and collecting the assets of the deceased, addressing debts, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries pursuant to either the decedent\u2019s will or the heirs according to the laws of that state. Note that the personal representative may also charge some fees for the services that he or she has rendered. The Court oversees this process and ensures that all interested parties are provided the proper notices and that all distributions are made in accordance with state law. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Benefit of Probate?<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A probate administration provides financial institutions with a means to transfer property to the rightful beneficiaries. It provides a venue for creditors to close out their accounts and make attempts to recoup some or all of their losses. Mostly, it provides the beneficiaries some closure. They can know that their loved one\u2019s wishes were carried out and that all financial issues created by their loved one\u2019s passing have been addressed.<\/span><\/p>\n
