Re: trust
Not exactly sure what you are asking. Certain items are not subject to Probate, such as insurance policies that have named benficiaries. Depending on the value of the total estate, a Probate may or may not be required. You are correct that non-Probate items are not included in the gross-estate, but to answer more completely, we would need to see the terms of the trust and know what assets were owned at the time of passing. Please feel free to read about Probate and how to avoid the cost of Probate on our website at No-Probate.com. You can make an appointment with our office for a free review of your situation by calling the number listed by LawGuru or on our website.
