Is it true that probate costs in PA are only $400, and that the time
to finalize an estate with a will is about 7 months? These questions
came up when a lawyer said there was no point in establishing a
revocable trust to avoid probate, because the savings isn't worth it,
and the time for settlement is essentially fixed, whether you've got a
trust or not. Is this all on target, and is there any place online
or elsewhere that outlines the steps or paperwork one takes to act as
an executor?
