There are people that are under the impression that the government will step in and take care of everything if you fail to put an estate plan in place. Many of these individuals intend to execute some type of strategy in the future. However, they are in no hurry, because they feel as though there is a safety net.

Is a Payable on Death Account a Probate Avoidance Solution?

April 20, 2023 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

payable on death account

Before we look at payable on death or transfer on death accounts, we should explain what probate is and why people try to steer clear of it.

During probate, the court would supervise the executor, … [Read more...] about Is a Payable on Death Account a Probate Avoidance Solution?
