When this happens, known as “intestate,” the state decides what happens to your dependent children, dependents, and possessions. The probate laws governing how the state will proceed in such cases are very complex and vary widely from state to state. In some states, like Texas, the probate process is relatively simple, and a Will is enough for most people’s needs. However, suppose you are a resident of the state of Florida. In that case, the probate process can be costly and time-consuming. Hence, it is essential to have a well-written and valid will.
Probate is the court’s legal process to decide and administer a person’s estate after death. This is how the court will determine how an estate will be divided if there’s no Will. However, suppose there is a Will. In that case, the court will follow the directions stipulated unless the will is illegally invalid and successfully contested. How long it would take and the cost to probate an estate depends on its value and location. A will specifies who should inherit what, who would take care of your kids if both parents were to pass away, and who the Personal Representative (i.e., the Executor/Executrix) is to ease the probate process on your loved ones.
A Personal Representative, an Executor/Executrix, is an appointed agent authorized to manage a deceased person’s estate. This agent can use the money in the estate in whatever way they determine best while fulfilling the decedent’s wishes. Usually, this means paying off financial obligations and transferring bequests to the beneficiaries according to the will. However, when the estate has more debts than available assets to pay them (insolvency), the agent may decide to reduce the inheritances or liquidate significant assets. Thus ensuring that all debts are paid.
The most significant limitation on a Personal Representative's actions is that they must always act in the estate’s best interest. Every decision made by this agent must explain how it is the estate’s best choice. This requirement is intended to curb conducting the estate affairs in the agent’s self-interest, especially if the agent is also a beneficiary. Because the law gives Personal Representatives much power in directing the estate assets, the probate court takes this measure to curtail potential conflicts of interest.
