Most estates are settled though probate in about 9 to 18 months, assuming there is no litigation involved.

How much Probate in Maine costs. Probate and settling an estate generally costs an average of $15,000 unless you use tools that make it easier, but remember that the money you will be spending will be the estate's money, not your own.

To start the probate process, you need to file an “Application for Probate” in the probate court in the county where the decedent lived. In Maine, each county has its own probate court. If there is a Will, it needs to be submitted to the probate court. The probate judge will decide whether or not the Will is valid.

How Long Do You Have to File Probate After a Death in Maine? Probate must be filed within three years of the person's death as listed in the Maine Code Title 18-C Section 3-108. There are a few exceptions where probate would be accepted after this deadline.

Listed below are some of the non-probate assets available in Maine. Any property in a living trust. Life insurance policies. 401(k)s, IRAs, other retirement accounts. Securities in transfer-on-death accounts. Pay-on-death bank accounts. Joint tenancy real property.

All vital record requests, such as birth, death or marriage records, should be addressed to the Maine State Office of Vital Records by calling 207-287-3771.

Maine probate follows this general flow: contact the court, get appointed as personal representative, submit will if it exists, inventory and submit valuations of all relevant assets, have the court and beneficiaries approve it, and then distribute the assets to beneficiaries.
