Phoenix residents may need help with the probate process

Losing a parent is a saddening experience for any person. The love and care that parents provide is often irreplaceable and, therefore, the emotional stress is often too much to handle for many people. However, in addition to coping with the loss, the heirs need to ensure that the estate of the deceased is managed adequately. Estate administration can include collecting and managing the assets of the estate, paying taxes and debts and distributing assets as directed in the will or by passing the estate through probate.

These estate administration tasks often look straightforward on paper, and it is so if the deceased had a foolproof will in place. However, if the deceased passed away without a will or with a will that was not regularly updated, the estate must pass through probate. Often, probate can pose some serious challenges to the heirs as several people, ranging from family members to friends, can be involved. In fact, this is a major issue among estates of high net-worth individuals because of the money at stake.
