Advantages of Probate of a Will

1. Cost effective / Saving of Costs

The disputes related to Estate can sometimes result in litigation, thus wasting years in Court procedures to resolve the matter. However, engaging a lawyer in writing a will or inheritance statements can help save legal fees and cut down expenses that one might incur in future to settle the dispute.

2. Better and timely legal estate planning

Probate allows handling of a disputed will in court. Through the probate process, all creditors to an estate are closed out. It also establishes the authenticity of a will after the testator has died and presents the executors and legal heirs to the contenders of the will. Several clients from Riverside California were not aware about this advantage.

3. Less Complexity or avoidance of trust litigation

Probate may sound like a complex and expensive process, but it is in fact a very common legal procedure that facilitates inheritance of certain assets which must formally be passed from the deceased to their heirs or beneficiaries of their will. The requirement for probate is based on the type of property and how it is owned as well as the state laws.

4. Effective for small estates and easy accessibility of family trust lawyers

The probate process actually works to protect small estates in some instances, especially for those who have died intestate, which means without a last will. In those situations, there is at least a predictable, step-by-step process in place to make sure that the correct beneficiaries inherit a decedent’s property, even if it may not be timely.

5. Less chances of Inheritance Dispute

Also, if you don’t have the financial resources at the moment to undertake estate planning, having your estate bear the costs of the probate process after your death may be preferable for your circumstances.
