Minimizing Probate When Setting Up Your Estate

Submitted by Ferguson Financial Inc. on October 3rd, 2017

 

 

Minimizing Probate When Setting Up Your Estate

What can you do to lessen its impact for your heirs?

 

Provided by Greg Ferguson

 

Probate subtly reduces the value of many estates. It can take more than a year in some cases, and attorney’s fees, appraiser’s fees, and court costs may eat up as much as 5% of a decedent’s accumulated assets.1

 

What do those fees pay for? In many cases, routine clerical work. Few estates require more than that. Heirs of small, five-figure estates may be allowed to claim property through affidavit, but this convenience isn’t extended for larger estates.

 

So, how you can exempt more of your assets from probate and its costs? Here are some ideas.

What does the Super Service Award graphic mean?

If a company has the Super Service Award logo on their company record, then they have won the Angie's List Super Service Award® for the year indicated. Each year Angie's List awards this honor to companies that have given outstanding service according to the members for the previous year. The most recent award given is for 2017. In 2017, the criteria for the award included receiving a minimum number of reviews from our members, maintaining an A average on both the reviews for 2017 as well as on their overall reviews and not being in poor standing with the Better Business Bureau. Less than 5% of the companies on Angie's List received the award in 2017. Please keep in mind that the award is based on the company's previous service and you should always check Angie's List before hiring because a company's rating can change.
