So, you’re the Executor, heir or a beneficiary of a recently deceased loved one’s estate? If so, here’s an article that I came across that does a nice job of laying out some of the common mistakes that can be made by folks about to come into an inheritance. Take a look.
From my experience, I would say that the biggest mistake we see over and over again is when the Executor and the family fail to seek out and obtain competent legal advice before jumping into the probate process. Hand in hand with that mistake is the one where distribution of the estate assets gets made prior to all of the decedent’s debts, administrative expenses and taxes being resolved.
