Probate

Probate is the court-supervised process of concluding your affairs after death. Trust administration is a very similar process conducted without the involvement of the court. Many people associate probate with large costs and even bigger hassles and believe that the smart thing to do is to avoid probate. Contrary to this popular belief, the probate process of most estates runs smoothly. Trust administration can be simple or complex depending on the circumstance.
