Testate vs. Intestate Probate

The Probate process is a proceeding dealing with the property of a recently deceased individual and how that property is distributed per their Will. That state of the process where there is a Will is known as "testate" and the more desirable state for all parties to go through, as it is simpler and less costly. "Intestate" is the state in which a recently deceased individual did not have a will. The process through which property is distributed is much more complicated and can get pricy for everyone. Make sure your loved ones don't have to go through this process by calling Don F. DeFoor at 770.920.2175 today to set up your Will.
