Wills, Both Simple and Complex
A will is a document that requires probate which directs the disposition of a person’s property after death and is only one part of an estate plan. Assets that pass by virtue of a will do not avoid probate and the associated probate fees, legal fees, privacy concerns and unnecessary delays. A trust can help avoid probate (as opposed to just a will with its associated probate fees, legal fees and privacy concerns, unnecessary delays) if done properly. There are all different types of trusts, such as the A, A-B, or A-B-C living trust, special needs trust, second marriage trusts). This requires that your counsel analyze the situation and be prepared to implement, as needed the proper estate planning techniques for you.
