In the U.S., probate is a critical step to ensuring that a loved one's debts are resolved and assets are transferred. Not doing the work can lead to complications.
Very good points, Kerri. Here in the UK, to finalise my Dad's probate, I had all the details, used excel sheet and had support from a lawyer, and it still took me a year - that's considered fast!
An issue that's been reported several times in the news - any debts can rapidly accelerate with interest between the passing of the loved one and completion of probate.
