Depending on the size and scope of the publication, a newspaper or magazine editor may perform a combination of the tasks mentioned above. Their job is to see that interesting and/or informative articles are produced in a timely and accurate manner, with no factual errors and few writing errors.
Probate is the legal process a person must go through to settle the estate of a deceased person who died with a will. The average probate process can be anywhere from a few months to over a year; the time frame varies widely by state. The length of time to probate a will depends on a sum of factors, like state requirements, the heirs and the amount of assets involved. Protect your loved ones by a legally binding will.
Another factor is the size and complexity of the estate. Larger estates that include a wide variety of assets, such as land, homes, business interests, artwork and multiple investment accounts, generally take longer to go through probate. Whether or not there is a will, the court has to ensure the deceased had clear title to all property; probate courts will also hear any claims of lenders and creditors against the estate.
