Probate Avoidance Deeds & Affidavits
Plan Ahead Today to Help Your Loved Ones Tomorrow
Probate is the legal process by which property (that is not jointly owned, in trust or with a beneficiary designation) owned by a person is transferred to that person’s heirs or beneficiaries upon his death.
Many people wish to avoid probate for a number of reasons. The most cited reasons are:
Time
A full administration typically takes between 6 months and a year.
Money
The court costs and attorney fees involved in a probate proceeding can be considerable, with the estate and ultimately the heirs or beneficiaries paying the additional costs.
Privacy
Probate proceedings, including the heirs or beneficiaries contact information, the estate assets and values, and the Last Will and Testament of the decedent are public record.
At The Perla Law Firm, LLC, we help individuals and families explore effective strategies to simplify the transfer of real estate and reduce the need for probate.
A Transfer on Death Affidavit or Survivorship Deed are often important parts of a comprehensive estate plan, allowing your property to pass according to your wishes while helping your loved ones avoid unnecessary court proceedings.
