Why is Probate Important?

  1. Honoring Wishes: Probate ensures that your loved one’s will is validated and their final intentions are respected and carried out.
  2. Fair Distribution: It provides a structured legal framework for distributing the person’s assets to their intended beneficiaries.
  3. Settling Debts: Probate creates an orderly process for identifying and paying creditors before assets are distributed, preventing future complications.
  4. Resolving Disputes: It offers a formal setting to address and resolve any disagreements among family members or beneficiaries.
