can someone tell me in simple terms, what it means when a house has to go through probate? -- nm - groiny Jun 18, 14:13 17
- It's usually nothing specific about the fact that it's a house, but that the property, as a possession, is owned in part by someone who has died. - landbeck Jun 18, 14:19 8
  - so what is the point of handing over your possessions in a Last Will and Test.? -- nm - groiny Jun 18, 14:21 7

      - if 100% of everything you own is left to one person in the will, does it still have to go through this process? -- nm - groiny Jun 18, 14:25 2
        
        Honestly I don't practice in this area so I don't know for sure. I belive it does because you still have to pay off your creditors before assets get - pmb Jun 18, 14:30

  - so if someone is left a house in another person's will, that would not require probate if I read correctly? -- nm - groiny Jun 18, 14:16 4
    - Everything goes through probate. The will is part of that process. If there are specific designations (Joe gets my car, Jill gets my house), that - landbeck Jun 18, 14:21
    - The will is probated. Assuming the will is proper and in orde, the house goes to the named legatee -- nm - slipping jimmy Jun 18, 14:18 2
      - And then Uncle Sam puts his hand in your shirt and squeezes your tit till it's purple. Always get the short end. That's a fact. -- nm - Hadley Jun 18, 14:20

Don't be that guy (or gal). Beats headphones are shite. -- (link) - ML Jun 18, 13:43 4

    - Yeah, I just watch the NBA casually, but what I've picked up from various podcasts and such is that he was a bad hire. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 18, 14:04 2
      - I think he was a fine hire. For the team he thought he was coming into. - ML Jun 18, 14:06 1
        
        Right. And I don't think he's playoff ready. He needed time to grow into the job as well and didn't get it. -- nm - pmb Jun 18, 14:07
- Yeah, he was acting like the coach much of the series. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 18, 13:47

  - I saw a link to it but have not watched. The Chicago flag is great, but that's a rare thing. -- nm - ty97 Jun 18, 13:24 1
    - It doesn't need to be a rare thing if we can start redesigning the awful flags we have. Chicago loves their flag and I get why. - Krusty Jun 18, 13:29
