The best way to reduce the stress of estate administration is hire an experienced estate lawyer to avoid probate court and handle the details for you.
How to Avoid Probate Court
The list below identifies asset categories that can avoid probate court.
- Trusts
- Retirement Accounts
- Life Insurance Policy Benefits
- Estate value of less than $100,000
If all or part of the estate does not fit into one of these categories, then probate court may be unavoidable, and you will need a lawyer to handle the probate process.
Even if the entire estate fits into one of these categories, there is still work to do such as notifying creditors and beneficiaries, drafting a small estate affidavit, ensuring compliance with tax laws, and ensuring compliance with all Illinois estate administration laws.
THE GOOD NEWS IS… YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT!
