Two more informal probates. In two separate matters, the decedent had a valid and enforceable revocable trust. As we see time and time again, the decedent’s transferred a majority of their assets to their trust, but failed to transfer a few of them, thus requiring the survivors to open probate. DeAngelis Legal prepared and filed the informal probate paperwork for both personal representatives, and obtained Letters of Personal Representative, which will allow them to transfer the assets in the decedent’s name to the trust. While not difficult, the informal probate process adds unnecessary expense and delays to the administration of your affairs. Check your assets and fund your trust!
