What Happens After the Probate Hearing - A Step by Step Guide

After the initial probate hearing, the court appoints a personal representative—the person responsible for collecting assets, paying debts, and distributing property. But before anything can move forward, Minnesota requires a four-month creditors’ period.

In this video, What Happens After the Probate Hearing?, we explain what the creditors’ period is, why it matters, and how it impacts the timeline of probate.

You’ll learn:

🔹 What creditors can do during this four-month window
🔹 How valid (and invalid) claims are handled
🔹 When it’s safe to pay debts like mortgages, medical bills, or credit cards
🔹 How assets are distributed—whether sold for cash or transferred directly to beneficiaries
🔹 Why stock portfolios and real estate often require special planning

By the end of this video, you’ll understand how this critical step shapes the rest of the probate process.
