Handling all your Probate Needs

The probate process occurs following the death of an individual, whether they have a will or not. If there is a will, the assets of the individual are distributed as the will specifies. If there is no will, Missouri’s probate law will determine how the deceased assets are administered. Nonetheless, probate isn’t always the route taken when someone dies. Probate comes in to play dependent upon what assets are in the individual’s estate. In layman’s terms, when someone dies, any property still titled in that individual’s name becomes “gridlocked.” Probate basically gets the property “out of the grid” or “out of the individual’s name,” permitting the property to be allotted to the rightful beneficiaries and heirs.
