  1. WHAT ARE THE STEPS INVOLVED WITH THE PROBATE PROCESS?

  2. Probate is the process involved in passing a deceased person’s property to their heirs or beneficiaries named in the decedent’s will.

  3. GENERALLY, THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE INCLUDED: • Filing the will and petition with the probate court appointing an executor or personal representative. • An estate tax return must be filed if that estate exceeds a certain value. The return must be filed within nine months of the date of death. • You will need to find out everything the deceased owned so you can file an Inventory with the court.

  4. • A final accounting must be filed with the probate court listing any income to the estate since the date of death and all expenses and estate distributions. • A final return tax return must also be filed for the decedent if the decedent’s income in the year of death exceeds the income threshold. • Executors do not generally pay out all estate assets until the period for creditors to make their claims run out.
