These next two articles by our Bettendorf estate planning attorneys discuss appointing fiduciaries and arrange asset distribution in estate plans. Your estate plan's purpose is the appointment of executors or trustees to manage your estate once you pass. This also enables individuals you appoint to make healthcare and financial decisions for you in case you become mentally incompetent.
In this article, our Bettendorf estate administration lawyers discuss the methods that can be utilized by an estate to avoid probate in Bettendorf. Probate is generally required in Bettendorf when you pass away and have real estate worth $100,000.00 or more outside of a trust. Avoiding probate will save your estate time and money with the costs of probate can be between 5% and 10% of the estate value in court and attorneys fees.
Probate also may take a year or more which causes your loved ones to wait to receive your assets, which is what makes revocable living trusts so lucrative. These trusts act as the primary vehicle of your estate plan. We will ensure that your estate avoids probate and your estate will pass immediately to your loved ones.
