Probate Is a State-Specific Process

Probate is a state specific process. Probate is the process whereby the will is. I don't know what the phrase is adjudicated or something. Right. Where they go through the will and they read it and they determine what's going to happen with your stuff. Okay. This process can take as long as a year, potentially even longer. It can be expensive. I mean, it could cost $20,000, and it might be dramatically less expensive to just put a revocable trust in place that's going to distribute those assets faster and, and with less overall cost than putting a will together and then having that will go through probate later. But it's very state specific. How painful it is. Right. In some states, it's really painful. In some states it isn't. I understand California is pretty bad.
