			<title>Summit County Probate Judge Wants You to Avoid Probate</title>
			<link>http://solidestateplan.com/news/articles/summit-county-probate-judge-wants-you-to-avoid-probate</link>
			<description><![CDATA[By Attorney Keith Stevens Summit County Probate Court Judge Todd McKenney recently started a campaign that may seem bizarre, given his day job - he wants to help people stay out of probate court. The recently-appointed judge has launched a community project to help people examine and redraft deeds to ensure that homes can be transferred outside of probate when a spouse or parent passes away. Initial reports from the project indicate that 37% of examined deeds for married couples who own a home together would still require a probate estate to be opened when one of them died. Probate can be costly and time-consuming. Creditors must be given time to take a bite of the estate owed to them and expenses can quickly pile up between attorney&#039;s fees and filing fees, but Judge McKenney told The Akron Beacon Journal that &quot;It is not just the money, but the frustration of completing the probate estate shortly after the loss of a loved one.&quot; Losing a loved one is hard enough without having to take their estate through the cumbersome and public process of probate. Judge McKenney&#039;s project is a step in the right direction, but with the proper planning you can do much more than just probate protect your real property. What about your bank accounts, mutual funds, stocks, vehicles, and personal belongings? If you get your deed redrafted to protect your spouse, what happens to your children when you both pass away? The probate and elder law attorneys at Cooper, Adel &amp;amp; Associates can help you address these concerns and more.
