Wills and Trusts
The importance of having a will or trust is evident in the regularly documented occurrences of disputes over a deceased person’s assets. If you have not put any plans in place, your accumulated wealth has the potential to end up profiting the stranger, and the government, or stuck in probate, depending on your situation. Our advisors will explain the benefits and requirements of each of your options and draft solid legal plans that mirror your intentions.
How Long is the Probate Process?
The probate process length varies by state and the complexity of your individual situation. In cases where a will is contested, the probate period can last indefinitely until the disputers either negotiate an agreement or receive a ruling from a civil court. Establishing wills and trusts before you pass is the best way to streamline the transfer of your assets. We’ll explain the details and barriers probate poses to your benefactors, and offer a host of innovative solutions that align with your goals.
