Who pays for probate expenses?

Probate expenses include court fees, attorney’s fees, and any other costs associated with administering the estate. In some cases, the estate may be able to pay these expenses from its own funds, but in other cases, the beneficiary will be responsible for covering them.

No one likes to think about death, but planning for your estate is an important step that everyone should take. By creating a will or trust, you can ensure that your property is distributed according to your wishes and avoid family disputes over inheritance.

Was going in for heart surgery in a week and needed an Estate Plan ASAP! Jennifer and the staff at Filippi Law Firm managed to put together my plan, which was rather extensive, within that time frame. This gave me the peace of mind I needed in case the worst happened. Luckily it wasn’t need but I now have it in case I ever do. Great staff and wonderful to work with. Wouldn’t go to anyone else. Would give 10 stars if I could.

We recently relocated from the Bay Area and wanted to update our over-25-year-old Living Trust. He did an outstanding job. He also gave us some contacts in Texas to update some property we own there.
