What is Probate?

Probate is the process of the Court’s involvement in the distribution of a decedent’s assets when those assets do not pass through a trust, joint ownership, or contract. There are different types of Probate based on the value of the Estate, whether real estate is involved, whether the family is in agreement or dispute, and several other variables. It is important to know if your Estate requires timely action in the Probate Court due to the fact that there are important deadlines that are costly to miss. The Probate team at Falco & Associates, P.C. will help your family determine if probate is necessary at all and if so, will help initiate the most efficient type of probate for your situation.
