What It Means To The Family To Properly Prepare And Avoid Probate

Sarah's story is a testament to what it means to the family to properly prepare and avoid probate. After carefully consulting with Kerlin Walsh Law, Sarah set up a living trust for her family, ensuring her assets would pass directly to her loved one's without going through probate. Because of her due diligence, they were able to avoid lengthy court proceedings, costly legal fees, and potential family disputes over asset distribution. When she passed, the smooth transfer of her estate brought her family peace of mind, allowing them to focus on healing rather than dealing with legal hurdles.

How can I avoid probate for my family and loved ones?

The best way to avoid probate is through estate planning now. Everyone should have a Will. It is also important to create trust documents, designate a successor trustee, and decide which trusts will be revocable or irrevocable. Designate who is payable on death in your financial instruments. The beneficiary for your bank accounts, financial vehicles and property can be designated on most legal forms in Illinois. Forms include vehicle registrations, deeds and registrations for securities. Beneficiaries may include trusts and carry tax benefits for your beneficiaries. Joint tenancy is also protected from probate.

Why should I be concerned about avoiding probate?

Probate can be a long, expensive and confusing process. The loss of a loved one is an emotional and traumatic event for families. The legal aspects of settling an estate through probate can be stressful, and even a financial disaster for the bereaved. Additionally, probate may not best represent the wishes of the deceased.
