More About Personal Privacy:
In discussions about privacy, one of the benefits of having an estate plan is that the very public probate of a will can be avoided.
Excerpt from a previous blog (Trust – A Matter of Privacy in my website Archives): “The big motivator for creating a trust, for many, is now the matter of privacy. I have written many times that probate proceedings are a matter of public record. Many do not realize how intrusive “public” actually means....One acquaintance told me their story- they had dealt with the probate themselves without an attorney and provided the required probate contact information. Subsequently, they were being ‘hounded’ with mail and telephone calls...Their probate documents were public records as was the will. There are people and companies “trolling” for information by using those records. Probate proceedings are public and yes, a third-party could attend all of the hearings in open court, get a copy of a will, and gain knowledge about all of the assets that an individual owned at the time of their death.”
If you value privacy, estate planning is a tool that offers alternatives to the public probate system.
