Estates and Trusts
Written By Katie Commons and Mary Beth Melso

Attorneys Katie Commons and Mary Beth Melso discuss the pros and cons of going through the probate process. They talk about:

  • What probate is;

  • Why state laws matter;

  • Issues that won’t be solved by avoiding probate;

  • The potential benefits of the probate process;

  • The role of trusts; and

  • How to find the best solution for your estate planning needs.

Mary Beth Melso also explores this question further in her separate blog post, Will Substitutes to Avoid Probate.
