When someone passes away, their estate typically goes through one of two processes: probate or trust administration. These options appeal to different people for different reasons—and misinformation is common—so we receive many questions, especially on probate. Join Jeff as he explains the process of probate administration in Pennsylvania. It's important to understand whether you're an executor, a beneficiary, or someone planning for their family's future.     WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (00:00) Episode introduction. (03:15) Probate is the legal process for distributing assets that are not jointly owned or attached to a beneficiary. (04:33) Powers of attorney become invalid at the time of death.   (05:54) In Pennsylvania (PA), probate and trust administration are very similar. For probate, an executor is sworn in.  (06:37) To be sworn in, the personal representative provides their law firm (or the Register of Wills) with the death certificate and the original will.  (07:56) The executor is liable for ensuring that probate is handled correctly, so many people use a law firm. (09:09) The law firm provides notices to heirs and creditors and determines date-of-death values for all assets.  (10:17) Making a tax prepayment within three months after death results in a 5% discount on the inheritance taxes owed. The inheritance tax return must be filed within nine months of death, but an extension, with interest, is possible.  (12:27) A partial distribution can be made. Final distributions require the signing of receipts and releases.   (14:46) A fiduciary return must be filed if there were gains in an estate account. (18:15) Most institutions will not allow testamentary trusts under a will. (18:45) You are not required to hire an attorney for probate, but an attorney can shoulder the work and risk for you.  (23:09) An executor is entitled to an executor's commission.   LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED Bellomo & Associates workshops:https://bellomoassociates.com/workshops/ Life Care Planning The Three Secrets of Estate Planning Nuts & Bolts of Medicaid For more information, call us at (717) 845-5390.

Tim opened with stories from agents who were struggling to connect, often because they led with direct questions like “Are you ready to sell?” which can backfire when someone is behind on their mortgage. The team discussed how to approach these leads with empathy and tact, using more strategic openings such as positioning yourself as a local expert with buyers in the area or offering services relevant to distressed situations (e.g., cleanouts, short sale assistance, or connections to refinancing options). Jim and Aline emphasized the importance of asking questions rather than making assumptions, highlighting how sellers will often tell you exactly how to help if you just listen. Bill dove into investor-friendly solutions like short-term leasebacks and pointed out how recognizing a home's hidden value (like the potential to add a second bathroom) can unlock deals. The group also stressed the importance of assembling a team — including lenders and cleanout crews — to support homeowners through difficult transitions. New subscribers Patty and Julia asked for guidance on getting started and were encouraged to make calls themselves early on to learn firsthand.

Probate hearings rarely make for casual conversation, but they're a critical part of estate administration that can become surprisingly contentious. Join Jane Dearwester and Haley Matson from McIntyre Elder Law as they pull back the curtain on these often-misunderstood legal proceedings in North Carolina.Most people assume probate is just paperwork and forms, but contested estates can involve numerous hearings before the clerk of court. Jane and Haley expertly break down the different categories of probate hearings you might encounter, from competing qualification disputes (who gets to serve as executor?) to heir determination hearings (who's legally entitled to inherit?). They explore petitions for possession and sale of real property, motions to remove executors who mishandle estate funds, and the fascinating 28A examinations that can compel disclosure from those hiding estate assets.The conversation takes particularly interesting turns when discussing lost will hearings—especially relevant in Western North Carolina, which has suffered hurricanes and wildfires destroying important documents—and will caveats that challenge a will's validity based on lack of capacity or undue influence. One compelling example involves a "crooked pastor" who convinced a cognitively declining person to disinherit their entire family. Jane and Haley explain how they successfully had that will invalidated.Perhaps most valuable is their explanation of North Carolina's spousal protections. Unlike some states, North Carolina doesn't allow complete disinheritance of spouses, providing statutory remedies through elective share (based on marriage length) and spousal allowance (the first $60,000 of the estate). Throughout their discussion, they emphasize how Chapter 28A of the North Carolina General Statutes creates a complex framework that isn't intuitive or straightforward—making professional legal representation essential when navigating these waters.Want to learn more about protecting yourself and your loved ones from probate complications?

Today, Laura and Jeremiah Lee discuss the critical aspects of estate planning, emphasizing that it goes beyond just having a will. They explore the importance of advanced healthcare directives, the implications of probate, and the essential components of a comprehensive estate plan, including trusts and powers of attorney. Through real-life stories, they illustrate the necessity of planning for the unexpected and the value of clear communication in estate planning. Key Takeaways: Everyone should have an advanced healthcare directive. Probate can be lengthy and expensive, often compared to the DMV. California estate planning laws differ from other states. A trust keeps your estate private, while a will does not. Clear communication is essential in estate planning. It's important to have an estate plan in place when healthy. Trusts can dictate how and when assets are distributed. Durable powers of attorney are crucial for decision-making. Probate is not a fast process and can cause delays. Regularly review and update your estate plan. --- Reach out at contact@tricordadvisors.com Connect with Jeremiah: LinkedIn: / jeremiahjlee Email: Jeremiah@tricordadvisors.com Connect with Laura: LinkedIn: / laura-lee-59a83610 Email: Laura@tricordadv.com Connect with Randy: LinkedIn: / rkbarkley Email: Randy@tricordadv.com Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

The Hidden Costs of Bad Estate Planning with Lauren Klein

Your bad estate plan is going to cost you! In today's episode, Lauren Klein, a Florida-based tax and estate planning attorney, discussed the critical components of effective estate planning. She debunks myths about revocable trusts, touches on the importance of regularly updating estate plans, and shares on the unethical financial incentives some attorneys may have to let plans fall short. We also talk the strategic use of irrevocable trusts, asset titling, and state-specific protections like Florida's homestead laws for enhanced asset security. We discuss... Lauren Klein is a Florida-based tax, trust, and estate attorney who works nationally, helping clients with estate planning, probate avoidance, and tax strategies. Probate happens when someone dies owning assets solely in their name without a beneficiary or trust.  Probate adds stress during grief and often sparks disputes—especially if there's no clear plan or distant relatives get involved. Family fights usually come from unresolved issues, emotional baggage, or greed. Clear planning helps prevent conflict, though it can't always stop it. Many assume a will or trust avoids probate, but trusts must be properly funded—assets need to be retitled into the trust or have it listed as beneficiary.  The estate planning industry is too transactional—clients get documents but little follow-up. After a death, families often struggle to locate and transfer assets legally while grieving. It requires attorneys, paperwork, and patience. A common myth is that revocable trusts protect assets from taxes or lawsuits. They don't during your lifetime—but they help avoid probate and add control. Revocable trusts shine when passing assets to kids. They can protect inheritances from divorce or lawsuits and become irrevocable (and stronger) after death. Trusts are especially helpful for blended families and young kids. You can distribute assets in stages and add estate tax protection with proper planning. Irrevocable trusts offer stronger protections but are more complex and better suited for high net worth or special planning needs. Asset protection varies by state—Florida, for example, offers homestead and tenancy protections. Even how you title a car can matter. Retirement accounts and life insurance have some protection, but it depends on the state. Listing all assets is key to building a strong estate plan. Crypto is showing up more in estate planning. It requires special steps to protect and transfer securely.

What exactly happens when someone names you as the executor of their will? Far more than most people realize. In this enlightening discussion, attorneys Jane Dearwester and Haley Matson of McIntyre Elder Law pull back the curtain on the executor's role during their "Probate Boot Camp."The conversation begins with a crucial concept many new executors don't fully grasp: the fiduciary duty. This legal standard means you're handling someone else's money with the highest level of care and responsibility. Jane and Haley walk listeners through the practical first steps every executor must take, from locating the original "wet ink" will to formally applying for appointment through the court. Even with a perfectly drafted will, the probate process requires court supervision and specific legal procedures.Things get particularly interesting when the attorneys dive into the complications that frequently arise. Will contests from disgruntled heirs, allegations of undue influence, questions about testamentary capacity, and disputes over property distribution can transform a seemingly straightforward process into years of litigation. Drawing from their extensive experience in estate litigation, they share real-world scenarios where executors found themselves caught in family disputes while trying to fulfill their duties. The discussion covers executor compensation (up to 5% of estate assets), when to seek professional help, and how even simple estates typically take 6-12 months to settle.Whether you're currently serving as an executor, have been named in someone's will, or are planning your own estate, this conversation provides invaluable insights into the probate process. Have questions about your specific situation? McIntyre Elder Law offers free consultations at their offices in Hendersonville, Charlotte, and Shelby.

Coaches shared actionable advice for maintaining neutrality, building rapport with all parties, and guiding conversations toward common goals, especially when one sibling is the personal representative. The discussion transitioned to effective ways of helping heirs understand the value of as-is sales versus putting in work to maximize a home's value. Several examples were given of walking families through ROI considerations and showing net proceeds with and without improvements. The group then addressed the issue of handling personal property, including strategies for resolving disagreements among heirs and leveraging estate sale companies. Coaches emphasized the importance of framing agents as problem-solvers rather than salespeople and offering vendor solutions that reduce stress. A significant portion of the episode explored the challenge of "quiet heirs" who don't respond to communication. Strategies included engaging the personal representative to take charge, offering family meetings, and setting deadlines for decision-making. Later participants discussed working with investors and how to manage relationships when sellers receive lowball offers. The coaches advised pre-framing investor roles as options providers rather than final decision-makers, and ensuring transparency throughout the process. The episode closed with insights on balancing urgency with patience—respecting the emotional landscape of probate while still driving momentum and accountability to get properties sold.Previous episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?

What really happens when someone passes away—and are you (or your family) prepared to handle it? In this episode of Women's Money Wisdom, Melissa Joy, CFP®, sits down with Rachel Donnelly, founder of Afterlight and author of Late to Your Own Funeral, to unpack the messy, often overwhelming world of death administration.Rachel shares her personal story of becoming executor for both her parents' estates—while working full-time and raising young children—and how that experience inspired her to build a business helping others avoid the same chaos. Together, Melissa and Rachel dive into the real work that goes beyond writing a will: handling assets, updating beneficiaries, navigating probate, and keeping bills paid when no one's watching.They discuss why so many women delay estate planning, the hidden landmines (like untitled assets and digital accounts), and how you can start untangling this intimidating topic with simple, practical steps. The conversation also tackles how to bring up these sensitive issues with family, why “co-anything” can backfire, and how to avoid turning a loved one's legacy into a logistical nightmare.Key Takeaways:Estate planning isn't just about legal documents—it's about full asset management and communication.Women are more likely to delay estate planning, often because they don't know where to start.Probate horror stories highlight why comprehensive planning matters.Digital assets (social media, crypto, email) need to be included in your plan.Choose roles (executor, trustee) carefully—co-roles can create more problems than they solve.Even imperfect action now is better than procrastinating and risking chaos later.Having the tough conversations with family now can save heartache and confusion later.Whether you're starting from scratch or fine-tuning your existing plan, this episode will give you the confidence to take action—because death is inevitable, but an administrative nightmare doesn't have to be.Learn more & connect with Rachel: Website: www.myafterlight.com Instagram: @myafterlight LinkedIn: Rachel Donnelly Book: Late to Your Own FuneralThe previous presentation by PEARL PLANNING was intended for general information purposes only.
