While probate is not always viewed in the most positive light, it also carries specific benefits. Probate is beneficial because: It ensures fair inheritance: A probate court looks over the will of a deceased person to verify its authenticity. This ensures that no will made under duress or by a person of unsound mind is lawful. It evaluates all assets in the will: Probate authenticates all assets that a person mentions and distributes in a will. This can include bank accounts, property, or heirlooms. This ensures that all assets in the will are accounted for to protect against fraud. It mediates any will contests: If any person challenges a will, then a probate court can determine if that person’s claim is valid. It determines if a will is sound: If any part of the will is ambiguous, out of date, or conflicting, then a probate court can determine the best course of action. It alerts all necessary people: Everything with a claim to the estate gets a notification. That way, everyone is aware of the process, which allows for transparency. With probate, the ultimate goal is to ensure that the will is fair and lawful. How Can We Help?
