Probate

After someone dies, all the assets in their name must go through probate. This can be a lengthy, costly and time consuming process because it is the last retitling process for somebody's life. Even if a person has a will, any asset in their name must go through probate. A will simply serves as instructions to the probate court about how to handle the assets.

Alternatives to Probate

If your loved one's assets are under a certain dollar amount, there are provisions that may be able to help you avoid the full probate procedure. Some of these options include:

• Probate by affidavit
• Small estate procedures
• Determination of heirship
