What’s next — and do you need probate?
A few questions, then a plan personalized to your state: whether probate is likely needed, the steps ahead, and the documents to gather. Your answers stay in your browser — we don’t save them.
Step 1 of 4
Which state is the estate in?
Probate rules are set state by state. Use the state where the person who died last lived — that is the state whose court handles the estate. If the property is in a different state, it usually needs a second, smaller case of its own there too.
Takes about a minute.
