PREPARING FOR PROBATE

Here are some steps you can take as an executor or personal representative to be prepared for the probate process:

  • Compile a list of valuables owned by the estate.

  • Get a copy of any Real Estate Deeds. We can help you with this.

  • Make a file for each bank account with the recent statements included.

  • Make separate files for securities investments, including 401K accounts, with the recent statements included.

  • Any cash associated with the estate should be tallied and safely stored.

  • Make separate files for any business ownership of the deceased.

It’s also a good idea to make a list of the deceased’s debts, including the payment frequency for each (monthly, annually, etc.).

This will help the estate be organized and demonstrate to all heirs involved that there are real bills to be paid. Below is a list of common bills:

  • Taxes- property tax and income/sales tax if they operated a business.

  • Mortgage for owned real estate.

  • Utility bills and property insurance must be kept current, even if there is no owned real estate.

  • Unpaid medical bills.

  • Revolving credit payments (credit cards, HELOC loans, student loans).

  • Maintenance for any real estate property.
