Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to common questions about estate planning, probate, and how I can support you through the process.
Do all estates have to go through probate?
Not necessarily—some assets, like those in trusts or jointly owned property, can bypass probate. Whether probate is required depends on how the estate was structured and the value of the assets.
How long does the probate process take?
The timeline can vary based on the size and complexity of the estate, but probate typically takes between 6 months and a year. Delays can occur if there are disputes or complications.
Can probate be avoided?
Yes, probate can be minimized or avoided with proper estate planning tools such as living trusts, beneficiary designations, and joint ownership. We can help clients plan ahead to streamline or bypass probate entirely.
What are the costs involved in probate?
Costs may include court fees, attorney fees, appraisals, and executor compensation. At Graham Estate Planning, we work to make the process cost-efficient and transparent.
Can someone contest the will during probate?
Yes, a will can be contested if someone believes it was created under duress, fraud, or if the decedent lacked legal capacity. We help navigate these sensitive situations with professionalism and care.
