What is probate and can it be avoided?

Upon your death, your Will is admitted to the Surrogates Court.   Your property is gathered and inventoried, your debts are paid and everything left over is divided among your heirs. While your personal representative is responsible for “probating” your Will, the process is generally controlled by the court and probate attorneys.  This can be avoided by careful planning.

Our attorneys are experienced in both estate planning and estate administration and have knowledge of federal and state tax laws.  If you are at the planning stage, you may want to meet with one of our attorneys to discuss techniques available to avoid probate, as well as, some of the taxes implicated at your death.  If you are at the administration stage, you may want to contact us to assist you with probating the estate as well as filing any state or federal tax forms that are required to be filed.
