S e p t e m b e r 2 0 2 2 | P A L M B E A C H N O R T H SPORTS 15 after someone dies, consider bypassing the process for these reasons: • Probate is a matter of public record, which means personal family and financial information become public knowledge. • There may be considerable costs, including court, attorney, and executor fees, all of which get deducted from the value of the estate. • Probate can be time-consuming, holding up distribution of the assets for months, and sometimes, years. • Probate can be complicated and stressful for your executor and your beneficiaries. Bottom line: While probate is a default mechanism that ultimately works to enforce fair distribution of even small estates, it can create undue costs and delays. For that reason, many people prefer to use strategies to keep their property out of probate when they die. A skilled estate planning attorney can develop a strategy to help you avoid probate and make life easier for the next generation.
