Charles Dickens is said to be the world's most prolific novelist, yet most of his works are relatively unknown to the general public, especially those he wrote under the pen name Boz.

These works have been so popular that they have been re-published by so many different publishers that they have never been out of prin

One of the things people often say to me is that they wish to avoid probate as much as possible. So, to that end, there are some very simple steps you can take to avoid probate with most of your assets, if this is your desire.
“Probate” comes from the Latin term meaning “to prove.” Essentially, it is the legal process whereby the correct titles to a deceased person’s property are “proven.” The document most commonly used to do this is a will. So, when a person dies, the will is entered into probate, beginning the legal process of “proving” the will, and distributing the assets it controls. Having a will does not avoid probate – in fact, it necessitates it. If you do not have a will… well, your state of residence will give you one – it just might not be the will you would have chosen!

Only one of every 5 businesses makes it to its 5th year, and fewer still make it to 10 years. What do the successful businesses have in common?1. The experience and skills of the top managers.

It is important to understand that a will, and the probate which follows – are used only to dispose of assets that are not disposed of in some other way. So, avoiding probate in many cases simply means arranging your assets so the title to those assets are directed by another means. This does not necessarily mean that you must use trusts or more complex estate planning tools. Depending upon your situation, this may not be necessary.
For example, IRA’s, employer retirement plans, annuities, some Government Savings Bonds, and life insurance contracts, allow you to designate beneficiaries for these assets. By designating primary and contingent beneficiaries, ownership is changed at your death by “operation of contract,” and do not require a probate proceeding.

It is important to remember to update your beneficiaries on these types of assets whenever your situation changes. We have heard horror stories of assets going to the wrong beneficiaries because someone forgot to change the beneficiary on their IRA or life insurance – even though they had updated their will!
