Small Estates: Do You Need To Go Through Probate?

Smaller estates may bypass the expense and delays of full-blown probate through a simplified and streamlined process called a small estate probate. We prepare and file the petition with the state and it’s done. If title is held as joint tenancy or community property with right of survivorship, those assets could pass directly to heirs with nothing more than filing an affidavit and death certificate. If property has been retitled with a beneficiary deed, the heirs may need to do nothing. We can determine the simplest and least expensive method to handle your case to help you obtain your desired results.
