What does it mean to go through probate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
Probate is a court ordered process for transferring the assets of a decedent to heirs and making sure creditors are paid. You could do a probate yourself, but given the notices that are required and the limits on what you are supposed to do it would be best to hire a lawyer. The process takes about 5 months if there are no complications. It starts with a petition that includes a death certificate and information about all heirs and beneficiaries. If there is no will, you will almost certainly have to post a bond to be appointed as personal representative. Once the petition is approved by the court, you would be appointed as personal representative and given authority to gather and manage the decedent's assets and pay creditors. You would have to try to locate and send notices to all creditors and file an inventory of the decedent's assets. At the end of the probate, if the court is satisfied that creditors have been paid and there are no unresolved objections, the court would allow the decedent's assets to be distributed to you. If the decedent's assets were not high in value, it is possible to do a simpler small estate affidavit procedure instead of probate.

Probate is the process where you prove someone is dead and you administer their estate. You should get a lawyer to help you, as it can get tricky fast.

After termination of parental rights, is the child entitled to inheritance if that parent dies without a will?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
No. There is no relationship. If she were named as a beneficiary in a will made after termination then yes.
