New data shows a concerning increase in probate processing times, causing financial hardship and emotional stress for families. Probate cases taking over a year to be granted have surged by 65% in just 3 years. Despite this, the standard probate fee is rising by 10% to £300 in May 2024. These delays can have a significant impact on families; including financial strain due to frozen assets, difficulty managing property and investments, increased risk of legal challenges and emotional stress during an already difficult time. https://lnkd.in/ePgwUTeq #Probate #Delays #Inheritance #Hedges

A non-family member serving as an Executor or estate administrator must handle any probate or estate administration in the state of the decedent’s primary residence. If the decedent owned real estate in more than one state, then multiple administrations or probates may be required, depending on each state’s laws. A secondary probate or administration in a state other than the state of the decedent’s principal residence is generally called an ancillary probate. #morgandisalvo #estateplanning #wills #probate #ancillaryprobate https://loom.ly/VExiNwM

How probate plays out is largely determined by whether or not you had a valid will in place at the time of death. However, even in cases where no will exists, or the will is deemed invalid, the probate process is quite similar. Indeed, once the court appoints someone to oversee the probate process on your behalf, the process unfolds in a nearly identical manner, regardless if you had a will or not.
