Is Probate in Maine Required?

Probate refers to the legal process of allocating a decedent’s assets to heirs through the probate court. After a loved one passes, you must go through Maine’s probate process before receiving your inheritance. Probate court is designed to make sure that the estate follows the will and handles it with the care it deserves. To follow Maine’s probate rules, you should file probate within three years of your loved one’s death.

In instances where there isn’t a will, the state decides the distribution of the estate. Contrary to popular belief, the entire inheritance is not always passed to the surviving spouse. The amount a spouse collects is impacted by surviving parents, children, grandchildren and other heirs. In these cases, the state splits the assets accordingly. Maine inheritance laws do not require heirs to pay inheritance tax on the assets they receive.

How Long Does Probate Take in Maine?

Maine probate rules never make the process cut-and-dry. The process drags on to account for all rules and inheritance laws, which create delays that prevent your estate from settling right away.

You won’t be able to receive any of your money until after probate proceedings end, which is likely to be anywhere from several months to years later. That said, smaller inheritances can take less time to transfer and some assets may even be exempt from Maine probate, resulting in an immediate transfer to the heirs. This usually isn’t the case for most probate proceedings.

Is There a Way to Access Your Inheritance Money Sooner?

If you’re frustrated with the complexity and lengthiness of the Maine probate checklist, you’re not the only one. First-time heirs are often shocked to discover how extensive this process can be and are discouraged by how long it takes to access their cash. Fortunately, we know of two ways to get around probate court and get your money immediately.

The first method to avoid probate in Maine takes some planning and the creation of a revocable living trust. Under this type of arrangement, the trust owner can designate a beneficiary to receive their assets. Everything will be transferred to the beneficiary automatically when the owner of the trust passes away.

You can also bypass probate by getting an inheritance cash advance. At IFC, we offer fast, seamless probate advances in Maine to help you get your inheritance money on your timeline without the need for probate court.
