SYNOPSIS
Simplifying wills and estates administration is useful, but not if it means skipping a crucial step. Probate helps to safeguard your clients. Avoiding it only works in specific cases and should not be the end goal. Learn from an experienced planner and litigator on when to use it and when not to.
