Wills, Probate and Estates

"Do I need a will?" Many clients ask us this question. In a large number of cases, the answer is “Yes”. In the event of ones death, Probate Courts determine who is awarded custody of minor children and how property is divided among family members or others.

People often assume that, on the event of their death, property will be equally divided among family members. This often is not the case. Jointly held property, bequeaths to non-family members and many other issues can complicate probate matters greatly. If you fall into one or more of the following categories, you should prepare and/or update your will.

• You have minor children
• You have a partner that you wish to convey property or money to.
• You wish to donate some or all of your property to specific organizations.
• You have jointly held assets.
