Long Island Probate Litigation Lawyer

Is probate always necessary?

In many situations, people are inclined to say that probate is a completely unnecessary process. This is especially true in situations where the deceased had been proactive in estate planning. If there is currently a will that appears to be valid, it is difficult to imagine why there would be any complexities. It, however, is important to remember that just because a will has been created does not mean that there will not be an issue regarding the estate.

In fact, there are many situations in which descendants could contest the will - stating that either the decedent was not of sound mind when the will was created or that they did not create the will at all. Probate is a necessary process at a time such as this to determine the validity of the will. This is also a process that can be utilized to tie up any legal issues that the decedent was dealing with while alive - such as debt and taxes.
