What is Probate?

For those who hear the term "probate" and are afraid of what that means, please see the following article written by Victoria Sakamaki who is an attorney specializing in probate law:



Have you been told you need to probate your loved one’s estate?


A probate proceeding is generally required in Hawai’i when a person passes away while owning any interest in Hawai’i real property in his or her individual name. An effective estate plan usually aims to avoid probate. However, in the process of administering a loved one’s estate, such as during the sale or attempted transfer of a real property interest, it is sometimes discovered that such interest is still owned by the decedent in decedent’s individual name, and a probate may be required to gain legal title over the interest in order to transfer or sell the real property interest.


A probate proceeding is not always as difficult or complicated as one has heard or one might think. Depending on the circumstances of the probate case, a probate can move along rather expediently. KPRESS Law Hawai’i is a law firm designed to specifically handle probates and estate administration only, with the goal of prioritizing probate clients and their particular needs for the most efficient processing of the probate case possible.
