The goal is to ensure heirs receive the maximum amount allowed by law while meeting necessary obligations, reports 1Probate.com

Henderson, NV -- (SBWire) -- 08/11/2015 --Probate litigation involves the contesting of a will and is something many individuals are concerned about when a loved one passes. Reports from other countries of a rise in this type of litigation have led many to believe they may find themselves in middle of a costly and lengthy dispute over a loved one's assets, but this isn't the case. Individuals concerned about preparing their estate or those who are facing this type of battle need to speak to an attorney to assist in the process and probate1 is happy to be of help.

"One question many have is, "what is probate?". This legal process begins when a loved one passes and is designed to show a will is valid. In addition, the process involves the identification and inventorying of the person's assets. Property needs to be inventoried, taxes and debts paid, and remaining property distributed as directed by the will," Kip Jackson, spokesperson for Probate1, explains.

Individuals often assume probate may be avoided simply through the drafting of a will. Sadly, this isn't the case, as every estate goes through the process because it must be determined who gets his or her assets. Debts must be paid, assets distributed and the final wishes of the deceased respected, when possible. There are laws governing the process, and they tend to be complex.

"Probate1 works with individuals to ensure the process runs smoothly. Our firm works to get the heirs the maximum amount allowed by law, while fulfilling any obligations. The probate lawyer may be called in at any time, to create the will, establish a trust or develop documents for a person's medical power of attorney, among other things. In addition, the lawyer can handle the filing of the estate with the court," Jackson goes on to say.

Estate planning addresses the distribution of assets prior to a person's death. With the estate plan, the court understands the deceased's final wishes and how he or she wishes their assets to be shared. For some, the process is simple, as the assets are jointly owned or aren't of high value. Others, however, have estates that require special consideration. This is true when there are children involved or the deceased was a partner in one or more businesses.

"Probate1 assists in the planning of an individual's estate. Some people opt for a will in this situation, yet others prefer to put their assets in a trust. Contact us today to discuss your estate and your options. We'll help you come up with a solution that is right for you and those you will leave behind," Jackson promises.
