Why Is Avoiding Probate So Important?
During probate, the court can delay estate administration for a significant amount of time, creating numerous problems for your administrators and beneficiaries. In addition, probate can become very expensive, even with court filing fees and costs alone. Taking the time to establish a plan now can help your loved ones circumvent these issues in the future.

What Happens If I Do Not Avoid Probate?

The following are some of the challenges they may encounter:
- Expensive court filing fees
