Probate court proceedings after a death can cost tens of thousands of dollars in attorney and court fees--money that would otherwise have gone directly to your loved ones. This top-selling guide explains methods to skip the probate process, including:



  • naming payable-on-death beneficiaries for financial accounts

  • holding property jointly

  • transferring real estate with transfer-on-death deeds

  • using a living trust

  • naming the right beneficiaries for IRAs, 401(k)s, and other retirement plans, and

  • using probate shortcuts for small estates.


This updated edition covers the latest state laws on probate avoidance methods and all estate-related impacts of recent federal changes to retirement distribution rules.
