What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of transferring assets from a deceased person to their heirs and beneficiaries. A probate takes place when an individual passes away with real estate in their name and if they own assets without a beneficiary that totals more than $75,000. The process can take between 6 months to 2 years to complete.
Trust Administration
The process of administrating a trust is similar to probate, except that the administration is private. This means that the administration of trust keeps the government out of the process. However, the overall process is similar; trust assets must be collected and documented, beneficiaries are to be notified, expenses are paid and then the trust assets are managed and distributed under the provisions of the trust. However because the courts are not involved, the administration of a trust can be much less costly and time-consuming.
