The Law Offices of Joseph A. Marra
Probate is the process of inventorying, valuing, and settling your estate after you pass. It can take several months from beginning to end, and your assets are tied up during this time and can't be distributed to the beneficiaries specified in your will. This lengthy waiting time leads many people to wonder if it's possible to bypass probate, and the answer is yes for some things. Assets that are in trusts pass directly to the beneficiaries without going through probate, as does anything that has a transfer-on-death designation or is jointly owned. New York also allows estates that are valued at less than $50,000 to go through a simplified probate process that can be much faster. •What Is Required for a Will to Be Legal?
