This course is also available in the 2017 Paralegal Cruise Bundle.

The purpose of a very well drafted estate plan is to avoid probate and ensure that your assets are distributed as you wish without government and/or Court involvement. Without a proper estate plan or without the proper execution of an estate plan, your family will find themselves having to administer your assets pursuant to State laws and under the Court’s supervision. We will go through the estate administration process and the various types of administration. We will also discuss the cost of administration, which is more than just legal fees, and the different types of assets and how they are administered inside and/or outside the probate.
