After losing a loved one, many people believe they don’t need to open probate because their loved one did not have a lot of money.

The mistake with this belief is that the debts and taxes of the decedent often go unpaid while assets are distributed. The family is then surprised when creditor or the IRS shows up looking to recover their claim. They have the right and power to open an estate and pursue those who received the property. It is far better to open an estate and administer it properly in the first place.

Probate is a court-supervised process that’s required when someone dies leaving a will~ and even if he doesn’t leave a will. The estate must pass to the beneficiaries, and probate is the legal process by which this is accomplished.
