You should definitely know the basic facts about probate when you are making your estate planning decisions. In this post, we are going to focus on shortcuts that can circumvent the full process. However, we will start with a broad overview to help you see a complete picture.

Most people assume that they should use a will to record their final wishes. This is certainly an option, and you name an executor when you are drawing up the document. They will administer the estate after your pass away, and any willing, competent adult can be designated.
You could alternately use a professional fiduciary. Trust companies and the trust departments of banks provide fiduciary services for a fee.
