Here’s how it works…

File To Start Probate — First, it’s necessary to submit a petition to the court to get the probate process started. A valid and notarized will in addition to the application indicates who is the legal executor of the estate. The court will then schedule a hearing to approve the petition. If approved, the court will open the probate case.

Provide Notice — As required by most courts, the next step is to mail a notice that the estate is in probate to all creditors, beneficiaries, and heirs. Sometimes it’s even required to publish a notice in the newspaper, depending on the state.

Determine Assets & Pay Debt — Next, it’s critical to compile all of the estate’s assets and determine their value, so that debt may be analyzed and paid.

Distribute Remaining Assets — Finally, after paying debts, the remaining assets may be distributed to the appropriate beneficiaries.

Hire An Attorney — If this all sounds like too much, then you might consider hiring an attorney who specializes in probate to help you through the process.
