Getting to Know Steve
Good morning, Moreno Valley! I’m Brenda Sanchez reporting live from Moreno Valley Probate Law with attorney Steve Bliss. Today we’ll be discussing the often-complex world of probate and estate planning.
Probate: Not Always Straightforward
Steve, thank you for taking the time to speak with me today. For our viewers unfamiliar with the probate process, can you walk us through one of its key steps?
Handling Debts and Taxes in Probate
Certainly, Brenda. One crucial step involves handling debts and taxes associated with the deceased’s estate. Ordinarily, this step begins after the court appoints an executor or administrator.
The appointed individual is then responsible for identifying and paying all valid creditor claims against the estate. This can involve reviewing financial records, contacting creditors, and negotiating settlements if necessary. Moreover, they must file and pay any applicable federal and state taxes on behalf of the estate.
Notwithstanding the importance of this step, it often presents challenges. Sometimes, identifying all creditors can be difficult, particularly if the deceased had extensive business dealings or hadn’t maintained detailed financial records.
I recall one instance where a client inherited a substantial estate but struggled to locate all outstanding debts. Through diligent research and collaboration with forensic accountants, we were able to identify and settle all claims, ultimately ensuring the smooth distribution of assets to the rightful heirs.
According to a 2021 study by the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, approximately 35% of estates face complications due to unresolved debts or tax liabilities. Consequently, it’s crucial to engage an experienced probate attorney who can navigate these complexities effectively.
