For example, without initiating a probate, the would-be executor lacks the authority to transfer assets to to any beneficiaries or heirs who are entitled to receive them. If you fail to initiate probate within 21 years of the decedent's death, you may lose your opportunity.
The Probate Process in Pennsylvania Inheritance Laws Essentially any estate worth more than $50,000, not including real property like land or a home and other final expenses, must go through the probate court process under Pennsylvania inheritance laws.
For example, in California, probate must be filed within 30 days of discovering the will, while in Texas, executors have up to four years to file. California: Probate should be filed within 30 days of the person's death.
That being said, it is never a good idea to delay the inevitable. California Probate Code section 8001 specifies that the executor has 30 days after the decedent's date of death and after learning they are the nominated executor to petition the court for administration of the estate.
Can an estate be settled without probate in Pennsylvania? In certain cases, it is possible to bypass the probate process altogether. This includes situations where the deceased had a living trust or assets held in joint tenancy with rights of survivorship.
Pennsylvania probate law states that a will may be submitted for probate at any time. However, there are certain steps a personal representative must take to ensure the will is probated properly.
When a person dies owning assets in his or her name alone, an estate must be “opened” by a personal representative to handle the assets and to settle the decedent's affairs. The estate is opened by filing a Petition for Grant of Letters with a death certificate with the local Register of Wills.
A Grant of Letters of Administration is an official document released by the Probate Registry, authorising an Administrator to manage the affairs of a deceased individual's estate in ance with the law.
The Petition for Probate of Wills and Letters of Administration with Will Annexed is requesting for the court to validate the Will and formally appoint an Administrator. The Administrator generally shares the same duties of an Executor. However, they are selected by the court rather than nominated by the decedent.
