Probate Administration and Insurance Coverage

A recent court of appeals case was issued regarding insurance coverage.  Probate administration can also concern insurance coverage if the deceased person caused an automobile accident or other act of negligence that injured another person.  Depending on when you admit the will to probate and open the estate, you may inadvertently expose estate assets to a damage claim by the injured party.  Hire an attorney who knows how the system works so you do not devalue the probate estate by making mistakes in timing of filing of documents with the probate court.
