Rotate Legal Idaho Probate Forms For Free

Under Indian law probate of the will is not mandatory. But obtaining the probate of a will is advisable to avoid future complications on the distribution of property. If the will is probate then the legal heir can easily obtain the property ownership.

A probate is filed in the county where the decedent resided. In Idaho, the fastest an informal or formal probate may be opened and closed is 6 months. While the probate is open, there is a 4 month notice and creditor claim period that takes place to flush out any creditors of the decedent.

Specifically, in Idaho a probate is required after you die anytime your estate includes any assets that have a value of $100,000 or more. Additionally, a probate is required in Idaho anytime your name is on the deed to any real estate, homes, or land regardless of its value.

Trusts Can Avoid Probate A trust is an effective tool to avoid probate in Idaho. A trust can hold virtually any asset, including real property, bank accounts, and vehicles. A valid trust will transfer ownership of your property to yourself as the trustee.

Idaho probate follows this general flow: contact the court, get appointed as personal representative, submit will if it exists, inventory and submit valuations of all relevant assets, have the court and beneficiaries approve it, and then distribute the assets to beneficiaries.

(d) Informal probate of a will that has been previously probated elsewhere may be granted at any time upon written application by any interested person, together with deposit of an authenticated copy of the will and of the statement probating it from the office or court where it was first probated.
