When is Probate Necessary?
- Probate is usually necessary if the deceased person (the "decedent") owned real estate or other assets, in their own name, at the time of death.
- The decedent's real and personal property are called the "estate" of the decedent. Probate is the process of resolving the affairs of the decedent by paying debts of the estate and then distributing the remainder as the Court directs.
- Probate is usually required if the estate includes real property (land, a house, mineral rights, etc.) of any value, or the estate has personal property worth more than the "small estate" statutory dollar amount.
- When probate is legally required, it is best to have it done as soon after the death as possible.
- A trust designed by Idaho Law Group can help avoid probate altogether.
