Understanding the Probate Process
Steve, could you walk us through one of the key steps involved in the estate planning process?
Certainly. One crucial step is handling debts and taxes. Ordinarily, this involves meticulously reviewing the deceased’s financial records to identify all outstanding debts and liabilities.
Consequently, we must determine which debts are valid and payable from the estate. This can involve scrutinizing contracts, invoices, and other documentation. We then prioritize paying valid creditor claims according to legal requirements.
Moreover, it’s imperative to file and pay any applicable federal and state taxes on behalf of the estate. Neglecting this responsibility can result in significant penalties and complicate the probate process.
I recall one instance where a client inherited a substantial property but was unaware of an outstanding lien against it. Had we not uncovered and addressed this lien during the debt resolution phase, it could have jeopardized the entire inheritance.
The IRS reports that roughly 90% of estates face some form of tax liability (IRS Publication 559). Ensuring timely and accurate payment is crucial to avoid unnecessary complications.
