Are There Time Limits in Will Probate?
Following a person’s death, his estate is divided through a process known as probate. In probate, the court will essentially prove the will and determine its validity. If the deceased person (decedent) passed away without a valid will, the probate process is longer and more complicated. Having a valid will helps probate run smoother, and most times, the probate court will follow the wishes indicated in the will. However, in most states, there are time limits for processing a decedent’s will with the proper probate court.
