What is the purpose of probating a will?
‘Probate’ means the copy of a Will certified under the seal of a court of competent jurisdiction with a grant of administration of the estate of the testator. A probate can be granted only to the executor appointed under the Will. Further, a probate is essential if the Will is for immovable assets in multiple states.
Can you avoid probate by having a will?
The most straightforward way to avoid probate is simply to create a living trust. A living trust is merely an alternative to a last will. It allows you to avoid probate entirely because the property and assets are already distributed to the trust. A trust also enables you to avoid the cost of probating a will.
