You\u2019ve been named the personal representative in the will of a family member or close friend, and suddenly, that person passes away, leaving their estate in your hands. What lies ahead is a legal challenge known as probate court proceedings.<\/p>\n

When you present the will to the probate court, you will be named executor of the estate, and you will then face several months of settling the affairs of the deceased before finally distributing assets to the named beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

Depending on the size of the estate \u2013 the assets left behind in the deceased\u2019s name \u2013 the process can be long, involved, and complicated. Since creditors are given six months after the death to press their claims, probate proceedings will take at least that long, usually months longer.<\/p>\n
