Estate probate is the legal process of administering and distributing a deceased person's assets and property as outlined in their will. Assets will be distributed according to the state’s laws if there is never a will. Probate also requires validating the will, paying debts and taxes, and transferring assets to beneficiaries.
Probate is usually required when an individual passes away with assets solely in their name. Probate often involves distributing real estate, bank accounts, and personal property.
A contested estate involves a dispute over the will or distribution of assets. Kornegay Law will represent your interests and assist with resolving any disputes.
Every probate case will vary significantly depending on the complexity of the estate, any disputes, and the caseload of the local court. Usually, simple probates can be resolved within six months. Complex or contested estates could take a year or longer.
