When a loved one passes away, those left behind must determine what to do with their assets. Unless the decedent had a trust in place, the decedents property would be distributed through a procedure called probate.
Probate. If you are named in someones will as an executor, you may have to apply for probate. This is a legal document which gives you the authority to share out the estate of the person who has died according to the instructions in the will. You do not always need probate to be able to deal with the estate.
In Mississippi, creditors have 90 days to submit claims against the estate, so probate takes a minimum of three months. To make matters worse, the average estate in the US takes a full year and a half to finally distribute the inheritance money to the heirs.
The Actual Length of a Probate If the personal representative and the beneficiarys work well with each other, the assets are not complex, and the estate is not taxable, the probate process could take well under one year. It can otherwise take as long as one year or more.
Probate costs in Mississippi typically range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the estates size and complexity. Key expenses include court fees, attorney fees, and other associated costs.
