If a loved one has passed without a will or trust, his or her estate may fall into probate. Probate is the process of legitimization that estates will go through, and many people look to completely avoid or eliminate the probate process.
While there are some advantages to probate, such as challenging a will that was not legally completed, the disadvantages can sometimes outweigh the benefits. Probate can be lengthy, sometimes taking over a year to complete, and many people are left with little or no assets, property and inheritance.
In order to best protect your rights and your beneficiaries' rights, we encourage you to work with Smith & Wilcutt, LLC.
Drafting a Will or Trust
Depending on the circumstances of your situation and the specific goals you have in mind for your heirs, our team can assist you with developing a legitimate and legal will or trust. There are numerous types of wills or trusts that could be established for you, and we will help you determine which may best suit your needs.
If you are an individual who has a limited amount of assets, property and heirs, a simple last will and testament may adequately provide you with the necessary tools to protect your beneficiaries. Trusts are a bit more complicated, and there are numerous types of trusts that you may want to consider. Individuals with high net worth, wealthy estates or numerous heirs may benefit from a trust over a will.
