Today I’m speaking with Steve Bliss, a renowned probate attorney serving the Moreno Valley community. Steve, thank you for taking the time to speak with me today.
Steve Bliss: You’re welcome, Brenda. I’m always happy to discuss probate law and its importance.
Steve, can you walk our readers through one of the key steps involved in the estate planning process?
Steve Bliss: Absolutely. One crucial step is “Marshaling the Estate Assets.” This involves a comprehensive inventory of all assets belonging to the deceased person’s estate.
Think of it like creating a detailed financial map. We meticulously list everything from bank accounts and real estate to investments, personal property, and even digital assets. Consequently, this inventory helps us understand the full scope of the estate and its value.
Accuracy is paramount in this stage. Accordingly, we often work closely with financial institutions, appraisers, and other professionals to ensure a thorough and accurate assessment. This meticulousness is vital because it forms the basis for paying debts, filing taxes, and ultimately distributing assets to heirs.
Ordinarily, this process runs smoothly, but there have been instances where uncovering hidden assets proved challenging.
I recall a case involving a client whose deceased father had stashed away a considerable sum of money in a safety deposit box that no one knew about. It took some detective work and collaboration with the bank to locate the box and its contents.
It’s moments like these that highlight the importance of thoroughness and communication in probate proceedings.
According to a recent study by the American Bar Association, approximately 30% of estates involve hidden or undiscovered assets. This underscores the need for careful investigation during the “Marshaling the Estate Assets” stage.
Brenda Sanchez: That’s fascinating insight, Steve. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
