    Frequently Asked Questions:

    • What is probate, and when is it necessary?
    • Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, including distributing assets to beneficiaries and paying off debts. Probate is necessary when the deceased person owned assets that do not have a designated beneficiary or joint owner, and the value of those assets exceeds a certain threshold (which varies by state). The threshold can range from a few thousand dollars to several hundred thousand dollars.
    • How long does the probate process typically take?
    • The duration of the probate process in California or Nevada can vary widely depending on the complexity of the estate and the state in which the probate is taking place. In some cases, probate can be resolved within a few months, while in other cases it can take a year or more. Factors that can influence the duration of probate include the number and type of assets in the estate, the number of beneficiaries, and whether there are any disputes or challenges to the will.
    • Can I avoid probate?
    • Yes, there are several ways to avoid probate, including creating a  living trust, designating beneficiaries for assets such as life insurance policies and retirement accounts, and owning property jointly with another person. Avoiding probate can save time and money, as well as provide greater privacy and flexibility in distributing assets.
