Avoiding Probate

Did you know that even if you have a Last Will and Testament, your estate will still be subject to the expense, delays and public scrutiny of probate? This means your heirs will not have access to your assets until your estate has been settled by the court. A situation such as this can put a great deal of financial stress on family members at a time when they are already grieving your loss. Your spouse may even have to petition the court for cash to pay for living expenses. All of this can be avoided through proper planning.
