Questions About Probate Estate Procedures

[susanmark]

Hello everyone.

Has anyone gone through the probate estate process? I’m currently navigating the complexities of managing a loved one's estate after their passing and could really use some guidance. What are the first steps I should take to ensure everything is handled correctly?

I’m particularly interested in understanding how to value the estate and what documents are necessary for the probate process. Additionally, any tips on avoiding common pitfalls would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has resources or personal experiences to share, it would be incredibly helpful in making this process a little smoother.

Thank you!
