What is Estate and Probate Law?
Probate and Estate Administration are specific issues that are encompassed in estate planning law. Estate Planning is the legal method for a person or family to pass on his or her estate once he or she dies. The goal is to maintain the wealth of an estate and allow the individual who owns the estate to have flexible options before he dies. The most frequent document/contract used in estate planning is a trust. Trusts are preferred over wills because a trust is not subject to probate.
