Depending on the complexity of the estate and the thoroughness with which accounting has been carried out before death, probate can either be a relatively simple task or a daunting one.

Be aware that no matter the situation, probate may be a lengthy process often taking months or possibly years to play out, and one which may take a considerable amount of an executor’s time.

Each of these steps involve legal documentation and validation, and more importantly, proper accounting each step of the way.

The movement highlighted a topic that many perhaps have not thought about- guardianship and conservatorship.

Unfortunately, as Britney Spears' case has shown, guardianship can be abused. In 2017, the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) published a report of financial abuse by guardians that highlights some common warning signs of abuse.

Guardianship, also known as Conservatorship, is a court-supervised proceeding which names an individual or entity to manage the affairs of an incapacitated person. A Guardianship may also include the duty to care for the incapacitated person.

Our law firm helps clients create a plan to handle their affairs in the event they become disabled, thereby avoiding the necessity of a public Guardianship proceeding.

How much does probate cost?

The cost of probate is set by state law- executor and attorney fees, appraisal costs, court filing fees- all these add up and probate can cost from 4% to 7% of the total estate value.

If the estate goes to probate, there is no avoiding these costs.
