A WILL IS YOUR TICKET TO PROBATE

How Do You Avoid Probate and Unnecessary Taxes?
The Only Way is a Well Written Fully Funded Revocable Living Trust

What is Probate?

  • Probate is a legal process that determines the validity of one's will and transfers title to the heirs
  • Probate on average consumes 8-10% of your gross estate
  • Probate consist of unnecessary legal and administrative fees
  • Probate takes on the average of 18-24 months to be completed
  • No money is paid out to the heirs until probate is completed
  • There is absolutely no privacy with probate, it's public record
  • If you have a will and you think your estate is well planned for, Think Again
