Probate

---

Probate is the process completed when a decedent leaves assets to distribute, such as bank accounts, real estate, and financial investments. Probate is the general administration of a deceased person's will or the estate of a deceased person without a will.

By creating an estate plan and utilizing Your Digital Vault to detail your financial accounts, keeping your family out of probate court can be accomplished affordably and easily. Living trusts are a way to distribute your assets and provide for your beneficiaries while keeping loved ones out of probate court.

Spare your loved ones the expenses and delays that may result from the probate process. Avoid multi-state probate if you own real estate in another state.

Keep your personal matters—and assets—private with a trust. Probate court records are public records, which means that anyone can access your will.

Help ensure your assets are accessible to your loved ones with less interruption after your death. With a living trust, a trustee can access assets and handle affairs more quickly than with a will.

Probate court fees add up fast and vary by state, avoid paying thousands of dollars in administration fees.
