Washington Probate Law and How It Works

<?xml encoding="utf-8" ?><!--?xml encoding="utf-8" ?--><!--?xml encoding="utf-8" ?--><h2><strong>Understanding Probate in Washington</strong></h2><p>In simplest terms,&nbsp;<a href="https://rockpointprobate.com/washington-probate-law-and-how-it-works/" target="_blank" rel=" noopener"><strong>probate</strong></a>&nbsp;is the legal method by which an individual&rsquo;s property, financial accounts, and personal items pass to beneficiaries after death. Washington law generally mandates probate when an estate surpasses certain thresholds or involves specific assets (particularly real estate). If the estate holds property valued above $100,000, or if there is real estate titled solely in the decedent&rsquo;s name, a formal probate petition often becomes necessary.</p>
