Answering questions, the second major job of the probate court is to order that the decedents creditors have been notified so they can present their claims to the court for payment.
This requires the costly time consuming job of inventoring all of the decedent’s liabilities.
The creditors are notified either by notices in the local newspaper or directly by mail.
The state/prov. law, set a time table that the probate proceeding must be left open to allow creditors the chance to present their claims.
In most all cases the creditor period is several months long.
One can minimize that time by having a properly drafted Will with the specific information already outlined.
Individuals have the total freedom to take as much time as necessary to get the proper counselling with any number of available pr0fessionals, to draft up an almost fool-proof Will and Estate plan for the BEST PROTECTION of their families and assets avoiding higher fees for wasteful searches and higher taxes often looming.
