Fairness and accuracy are essential in probate and estate administration. It is important to make sure all the assets are gathered, the debts are paid, the proper documents are filed with the probate court and assets are distributed appropriately. At Koch & Brim we are happy to explain the process.
Most of our probate clients are executors of their loved ones' wills and estates. They want to do a good and efficient job - the less time and money spent, the better, but without sacrificing the need to be accurate and fair.
• Set-asides: When the value of an estate is under $100,000, the probate court process is simplified. If all documentation is properly completed, the estate can be settled in less than a month. Contact our law firm. No matter how small the estate, our probate lawyers can help.
• Summary administration: Estates with a value of $200,000 or less are eligible for summary administration. That requires less delay than a complex estate, but more time than a set-aside. At Koch & Brim, we keep the process as simple as possible.
• Full administration: We also have extensive experience in handling probates for larger estates. Although the process is a bit more involved than it is for smaller estates, we still do everything we can to make the process simple and painless for you.
• Asset transfer: There are a variety of ways to transfer your assets to loved ones. In some cases a joint tenancy, a beneficiary provision in a financial account, or a beneficiary deed may be a simple yet effective way to carry out your wishes. In other cases a will is absolutely necessary. For many people a trust is a much more effective and cost-efficient way of handling their estate. Talk to us, we will tailor-fit a plan that meets your needs.
