There are Many Benefits to Probate. |
|
When an individual passes away leaving a valid will, their estate will often go through the process of probate, which will allow for the payment of creditors & taxes, and then the distribution of the estate property in accordance with the will. Many people see probate as a negative process because it can be lengthy and a bit costly; however, that is not always the case. In New York, the probate process in many counties is rather quick and not very expensive. Below are a few of the benefits of probate: - The court will validate the will. In order for a will to be admitted, the court must verify that it is valid and in compliance with state law.
- The estate executor will be supervised. All actions by the executor will be watched by the Surrogate's court and by the estate attorney to ensure that everything is done properly. This will also give greater protection to any heirs or beneficiaries.
- It is easier to resolve a dispute. The Surrogate's court allows for a forum to dispute various issues, such as will constructions, will contests, and guardianship.
- Creditors have to file a claim in a limited amount of time. Once the fiduciary is appointed, creditors only have a short window in which they can file a proper claim. In the case of a trust, it can be for several years.
