You may be a business proprietor seeking guidance, an individual interested in exploring your estate planning options, or a family member of a deceased loved one searching for advice on the probate process. Probate is the step in which a portion or the entire estate of a deceased loved one passes through a court process. Probate is more likely when a person did not have a will or if they had a trust. Nearly half of Americans over 55 do not have a will. Probate is the process of identifying and transferring a deceased person's belongings to her or his heirs. Many estates must pass through somewhat-speedy probate. The more comprehensive an estate plan, the less probate is necessary. Most assets held in a trust (e.g. a revocable trust or joint tenancy) will not have to go through probate. Also, if a property or asset is owned jointly with a "survivorship tenancy," it instantly passes to the new owner. Furthermore, retirement or investment accounts with beneficiaries named also do not have to go through probate. If an individual has assets in his or her name only and no will, most of the estate must pass through probate.
