What does Probate mean?
Probate is a procedure to ask the court to give a person the authority to act as the estate trustee of an estate, to confirm the authority of a person named as the estate trustee in the deceased's Will, and to formally approve that the deceased's Will is their valid last Will.
What is an Opinion of Value?
As a part of the probate process, a lawyer will request up to three reports from realtors that provide a market analysis of what the estate or home is worth. We include these reports as a part of our services when working with clients.
Are there taxes payable on an estate?
Generally, there are three taxes that apply when finalizing an estate: a probate tax (approximately 1.5% of the overall value of the estate), personal income taxes due, and income taxes due on any trusts. More often than not, these are paid before any estate distribution to beneficiaries. We recommend that all of our clients speak with their lawyers and accountants to understand their own circumstances; the above is a general guide. We have a trusted network of lawyers and accountants who specialize in estates and would be happy to put you in touch with the right people.
