Probate is a court-supervised process used to authenticate a decedent's will, appoint a personal representative, gather assets, pay debts, and distribute remaining assets to heirs or beneficiaries. The process varies in duration, cost, and complexity.Key steps include initiating the case, court review and appointment of a representative, gathering assets, providing notice, handling debts, administering and distributing the estate, and tax planning. Some jurisdictions offer simplified or informal probate for smaller or uncontested estates.Tax and planning considerations include estate taxes, lifetime gifting, irrevocable life insurance trusts, grantor-retained annuity trusts, charitable giving, and integration of tax strategies with probate.Understanding both probate procedures and estate planning strategies is crucial for effectively managing the complexities of post-death property transfers. Proper planning can minimize administrative burdens, reduce tax liabilities, and ensure the decedent's intentions are fulfilled.

Probate is a court-supervised process that authenticates a decedent's will, appoints a personal representative, and oversees the gathering of assets, payment of debts, and distribution of remaining assets to heirs or beneficiaries. The probate process can vary in duration, cost, and complexity depending on the size of the estate, the clarity or validity of the will, and potential disputes.The probate case is initiated by filing a petition with the probate court, which includes the will (if any) and the death certificate. The court then confirms the documents and appoints an executor or administrator. If the will is contested, the process may become litigious and require an evidentiary hearing.The personal representative is responsible for notifying beneficiaries, heirs, and creditors, and gathering and inventorying the decedent's assets. The representative must also pay off valid debts in a specific order of priority.The distribution of property is guided by the will or, in the absence of a will, by intestacy statutes. Some jurisdictions offer simplified or informal probate procedures for smaller or uncontested estates.Estate taxes and planning strategies can significantly impact the probate process. Lifetime gifts, life insurance trusts, and charitable giving can all be used to minimize estate taxes. Understanding these strategies is crucial, as how property is titled or transferred can affect both probate and tax implications.The personal representative must also file any required estate tax returns and ensure that taxes are paid. Estate planning can simplify the probate process and minimize taxes, ensuring that the decedent's wishes are carried out and that beneficiaries receive their inheritance with clarity.

Estate administration is a comprehensive process involving the management and settlement of a decedent's estate. This process can be complex, requiring a detailed understanding of legal procedures, fiduciary responsibilities, and tax implications. Below is an expanded discussion on each key component of estate administration, essential for those preparing for the Bar Exam. V. Estate Administration A. Probate Process and Alternatives to Probate Probate is the legal process by which a decedent's estate is administered, involving the validation of the will (if one exists), the appointment of an executor or administrator, and the oversight of the estate's distribution. The main steps in the probate process include: Filing a Petition: Initiating probate begins with filing a petition in the probate court in the jurisdiction where the decedent lived. This petition seeks to validate the will and appoint an executor. Notice to Heirs and Creditors: Following the petition, the court requires notice to be given to heirs, beneficiaries, and known creditors, informing them of the probate proceeding. Inventory and Appraisal: The executor or administrator must inventory the estate's assets and, if necessary, obtain appraisals to determine their value. Payment of Debts and Taxes: Before distribution to beneficiaries, the estate must pay any outstanding debts and taxes. Distribution of Assets: Remaining assets are distributed to the beneficiaries as directed by the will or, in the absence of a will, according to the state's intestacy laws. Alternatives to probate are designed to simplify or bypass the process, including: Joint Ownership: Assets owned jointly with the right of survivorship pass directly to the surviving owner(s). Payable-on-Death and Transfer-on-Death Accounts: Designations allow for assets to be transferred directly to named beneficiaries upon the owner's death. Living Trusts: Assets held in a living trust can be distributed to beneficiaries without going through probate. B. Appointment and Role of Executors and Administrators An executor, nominated in the will, or an administrator, appointed by the court in the absence of a will, plays a pivotal role in estate administration. Their responsibilities include: Collecting Assets: Identifying and securing all assets of the estate. Paying Debts and Taxes: Settling any outstanding debts and filing tax returns on behalf of the estate. Distributing Assets: Allocating the remaining estate assets to the rightful beneficiaries. Accounting: Providing a detailed account of their actions and the estate's finances to the court and beneficiaries. C. Collecting and Managing the Decedent's Assets This phase involves gathering all assets belonging to the decedent, including bank accounts, real estate, stocks, personal property, and life insurance proceeds not designated to a beneficiary. Assets must be safeguarded and managed prudently during the estate administration process, which may involve selling assets to pay debts or to distribute cash bequests. D. Payment of Debts and Taxes The executor or administrator is responsible for settling the decedent's debts, including funeral expenses, medical bills, and any outstanding loans. They must also file the final income tax return for the decedent and any estate tax returns that may be required. Estate assets are used to satisfy these obligations before distributions to beneficiaries. E. Distribution of Estate Assets After paying debts and taxes, the executor or administrator distributes the remaining assets according to the will's terms or, if there is no will, in accordance with state intestacy laws. This step often involves transferring titles, executing deeds, and ensuring beneficiaries receive their rightful shares of the estate. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

If you'd like to learn more about Elder Law, Medicaid planning, Guardianship, Special Needs Trusts, or Probate law contact the Law Office of Frank Bruno, Jr. today at 718-418-5000. Thank you for listening! Eldercare law is really an umbrella term encompassing multiple areas of law. Some elder care attorneys handle subjects that most people know something about, such as probate, guardianship, estate planning. Other eldercare lawyers focus their practice on other areas of law such as special needs planning, VA benefits planning, and Medicaid planning. So, what is Medicaid planning? Medicaid planning is a way to protect people's assets from the threat of long-term care expenses. Many clients are between 65 and 95, own their own homes, and have between $25,000 and $750,000 worth of assets in addition to the house. What many people don't realize is exactly how expensive long term care expenses can be – In 2020 the average costs of a skilled nursing facility, in New York is $14,250.00 per month. Someone can be solidly middle class or upper-middle class, have saved their whole life, and think that they'll have plenty of money for whatever happens only to suffer a stroke, major heart attack or get an Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diagnosis and need help with their activities of daily living. If they have this six-figure per year care expense, many people spend everything. Medicare does not pay skilled nursing home expenses after 100 days. An elder care attorney, who handles Medicaid planning, is able to legally and ethically protect people's assets to get them qualified for Medicaid. Medicaid, unlike Medicare, has excellent long-term care benefits. This helps them supplement their lifestyle with their own assets (to improve the quality of their life while alive) and make it more likely that they will have something to pass onto their heirs after they pass away. There are many myths and much misinformation surrounding long-term care Medicaid in New York. To learn more please visit... https://www.frankbrunolaw.com

Thank you for listening! Eldercare law is really an umbrella term encompassing multiple areas of law. Some elder care attorneys handle subjects that most people know something about, such as probate, guardianship, estate planning. Other eldercare lawyers focus their practice on other areas of law such as special needs planning, VA benefits planning, and Medicaid planning. So, what is Medicaid planning? Medicaid planning is a way to protect people's assets from the threat of long-term care expenses. Many clients are between 65 and 95, own their own homes, and have between $25,000 and $750,000 worth of assets in addition to the house. What many people don't realize is exactly how expensive long term care expenses can be – In 2020 the average costs of a skilled nursing facility, in New York is $14,250.00 per month. Someone can be solidly middle class or upper-middle class, have saved their whole life, and think that they'll have plenty of money for whatever happens only to suffer a stroke, major heart attack or get an Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diagnosis and need help with their activities of daily living. If they have this six-figure per year care expense, many people spend everything. Medicare does not pay skilled nursing home expenses after 100 days. An elder care attorney, who handles Medicaid planning, is able to legally and ethically protect people's assets to get them qualified for Medicaid. Medicaid, unlike Medicare, has excellent long-term care benefits. This helps them supplement their lifestyle with their own assets (to improve the quality of their life while alive) and make it more likely that they will have something to pass onto their heirs after they pass away. There are many myths and much misinformation surrounding long-term care Medicaid in New York. To learn more please visit... https://www.frankbrunolaw.com

This week, I'm continuing my discussion about the probate process with Judge Edward C. Burt Jr. (aka Ned). We'll dive into what happens if someone dies without a will, the specifics of the full probate process, establishing the authenticity of wills, and Ned's final tips for making probate as simple as possible. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... What happens if I die without a will? [3:36] Diving deeper into the probate process [6:23] How do I file a will? [9:57] Determining the authenticity of multiple wills [12:42] Ned's final tips for simplifying the probate process [14:30] A matter of time If you die without a will, it is known as dying intestate. This means the probate court will have to decide how your assets should be divided up. The process of doing so can be burdensome and expensive, which is why having a last will and testament is highly recommended. Assuming there is a will, the average probate process can take six to nine months. A will should be filed within 30 days of the deceased's passing. Once a notice has been published in the newspaper, anyone has 150 days to file a claim against the estate, and fiduciaries have 60 days to respond to any claim. One of the final steps is filing an estate tax return within six months of the initial passing, but Ned suggests taking care of this as soon as possible because there are no extensions allowed and penalties for filing late. While probate can be a lengthy process, there is a lot you can do while it's still ongoing. If the claims process has concluded and no claims have been filed against the estate, executors are able to request a distribution from the court. You can also sell real estate during the probate process. Most wills give executors that right without probate court approval. Ned recommends including this in your will as a huge probate time saver. If the person who passes away is not the sole owner of any real estate and has less than $40,000 in assets, they are eligible for a streamlined probate process. All it takes is a few forms filed through the probate court, which Ned believes most people can do without professional help.  Establishing authenticity Many people believe their last will and testament should be filed with the probate court upon creation, but this is a common misconception. Original copies of the Will are filed when a person passes away. Lawyers used to hold onto the original copy of a will, but that is rarely the case now because if they misplace it they would be liable for malpractice. If you lose an original will, a conformed copy can be filed with the probate court and may need its witnesses to corroborate the authenticity of the document.  In situations where multiple wills are filed for the same person, determining the authenticity of the deceased's final wishes can be tricky. Testimony is taken from both the witnesses who signed the will and the attorney who facilitated the creation of it to try and sort out the discrepancy. Interested parties can submit any evidence necessary, including professional testimony from experts, to try and prove things like diminished capacity in cases where a secondary will is contested.

In this week's episode we are going to talk about inheritance and inheriting your parents house. If you are watching this video because a loved one has passed, we are so sorry for your loss and we hope that this video can offer some help during this time. After the Will and Probate process you and your siblings will want to have a family meeting and discuss where everyone is and what you want to do with the property. It is important to delegate responsibilities so that you and your family know who will be responsible for each aspect of the house. It is also important to manage the utilities and insurance for the property. So take a look at your plan and what you need for the house to function. Work with a Title Company to see if there are any encumbrances on the property. When the time comes to go through belongings see what you want to keep, donate, and sell. If you need more support there are companies that can tackle a lot of this for you. If you decide to sell the property, there may be some small repairs that you can make before listing the property. It is also important to look at tax implications with your accountant to understand exactly what your costs are after you sell the property. Make sure that when you and your siblings come to an understanding make sure you get everything in writing. Regardless of the relationship it is important to reach out to an attorney if disputes arise. There are so many options for what you can do with a property and you do not have to rush into any decision. Whether you buy out your siblings, sell the property, or decide to turn it into a rental, a good real estate agent can help you decide what is the best option for your situation.

Is Probate a difficult and expensive process? Is there any way to avoid it altogether? If you're diving into estate planning and have questions about Probate, this episode is for you! I'm joined by special guest Judge Edward C. Burt Jr. (aka Ned) who has served as a Probate Judge for the last 10 years. We'll discuss common misconceptions about Probate and strategies to make it as simple as possible. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Getting to know Ned and his Probate background [1:06] Can I avoid Probate? [3:40] Should I have a will? [7:17] The logistics of sending your estate through Probate [9:39] A common misconception Most people have zero idea what Probate court is or how to navigate the process because it's usually an extremely sad circumstance that brings families to the court. Probate court is often viewed as the place where families go to settle a loved one's estate when they pass away as well as any outstanding debts. However, there are many other matters handled by the Probate court like adoptions, name changes, conservatorships, and issues of guardianship. And while many people try to believe Probate court can be avoided, that is rarely the case. Couples often have established through a deed that the ownership of jointly owned property will transfer to the surviving spouse in the event of the other's death. This is known as the rights of survivorship. One of the biggest misunderstandings about Probate is that people assume just because a joint asset like real estate is in survivorship does not mean that it doesn't have to be Probated. There may be inchoate taxes due to the state for the spouse that passes away. Though inchoate taxes are unlikely, the deed itself needs to be Probated to receive a certificate of no tax due which is required to sell the property down the road. Not doing so could hold up the closing process or cause the sale to fail entirely. Where there's a will, there's a way Having a professionally prepared last will and testament is the number one way to prepare you for the Probate process. A “simple will” should suffice for young married couples, but as you get older or if there are significant assets to manage, a more complex legal document may be required. While a will doesn't help you avoid Probate, it does provide the instructions for the distribution of assets during the administration of Probate making the process go smoothly.

#Probate matters #in #Iowa are the official manner in which an estate is settled under supervision of the court. When a person dies without an established will, an executor is appointed to gather and value owned assets, settle remaining debts, and distribute assets to heirs. Probate prevents fraud and theft after a death. Without it, debts could go unpaid and assets could be improperly distributed.explained Read more in the article at: https://www.oflaherty-law.com/learn-about-law/the-iowa-probate-process- Have any questions that weren't answered here?
