(WSYR-TV) — Most families only discover the stress and cost of probate after a loved one passes away. Don’t wait until the unthinkable happens.
Tim Crisafulli, founding attorney of Crisafulli Estate Planning & Elder Law, stopped by to break down what probate is, how he guides people through the process and what the timetable looks like.
Probate is a court-supervised legal process that handles an estate after one’s death. It involves validating their will, identifying taxes, and distributing the remaining property to beneficiaries.
Crisafulli went in depth on the timeline between the court and those wanting to be an executor. He also discussed characteristics of assets that move through probate and those that don’t.
