Do-It-Yourself
Probate Kit
- When a person dies, the family need not
automatically hire an attorney to handle the probate of the estate. If
you have been designated as executor, this kit will show you how to
handle the probate process using a copyrighted step-by-step procedure.
It will save time and hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars in legal
fees and attorney's costs!
What
Is "Probate"?
Probate is a court procedure by which a will is proved to
be valid or invalid. This generally includes all matters and
proceedings under the probate statutes pertaining to the
administration of estates, guardianships and other personal and estate
matters. These proceedings involve the appointment or designation of
an executor, who under the supervision of the probate court, collects,
manages, maintains and distributes the assets of an estate after
payment of attorney fees, claims, costs, court fees and other probate
expenses.
Is
This Kit Valid In All States?
This kit can be used in all states. However, the probate
court forms, which are based on the Uniform Probate Code, have been
adopted only in some states. Therefore, you will need to obtain a copy
of your state probate statutes and a copy of your state and local
court rules to obtain forms for use in any particular court. The clerk
of your local probate court can tell you how and where to obtain
copies of the appropriate court rules, statutes and forms.
What
Does This Kit Contain?
This kit contains "fill-in-the-blank" probate
court forms which are based on the Uniform Probate Code. The Kit also
