Alabama Estate Law Frequently Asked Questions

What is a will?

A Will is a legal document that says how your property should be distributed after your death, who your Executor will be, and who should be Guardian of your minor children. A Will can also establish trusts. If someone dies with a will, they are said to have died testate. If they die without a will, they have died intestate. More Wills FAQs

How do I make a will?

A will must meet certain requirements set by the state to be considered valid. In Alabama, the will must be written, signed by the maker, and witnessed by two people in the manner required by law. More Wills FAQs

What is estate planning, and why is it important in Alabama?

Estate planning is the process of preparing legal documents that outline your wishes for your assets and your loved ones in the event of your death or incapacity. It is important in Alabama because it can help ensure that your property is distributed according to your wishes, your loved ones are taken care of, and your assets are protected from unnecessary taxes and fees. More Estate Planning FAQs

What is probate, and why is it necessary in Alabama?

Probate is the legal process by which a deceased person's assets are distributed according to their will or the Alabama statute of intestacy. If someone dies with property solely in their name, then probate (or summary distribution of a small estate) is required. More Probate FAQs

How long does probate take in Alabama?

The probate period in Alabama takes at least six months. Creditors are entitled to six months to file claims against the estate. The probate process can take longer if there are creditor claims against the estate, disputes between heirs, if the estate is selling real estate, or a number of other reasons. A summary distribution of a small estate takes less time but the total value of the estate must be less than $34,611.00 for 2023 and cannot have real estate. More Probate FAQs

What is estate litigation?

Estate litigation is an umbrella term for various disputes including will contests, wrongdoing by a Personal Representative, breach of fiduciary duty, division of assets, interpretation of documents, accountings, spousal rights, undue influence, and more. More Estate Litigation FAQs

What is heirship property?

Heirship property is property owned jointly by multiple family members or relatives (sometimes distant). It often is property passed down from one generation to the next such as farm or timber land. More Heirship Property FAQs
