Wills and Estates and Probate Law

wills and estates

Wills and Estates are not something we always want to think about, but having a legally binding Will and Testament now can guide your family regarding your future wishes. It can also save a great deal of cost and stress by providing them with an effective legal document. Without a Will, your estate, being your assets, money and worldly items will be handed out according to a legal formula worked out by legislation. Your life will be distributed as a total stranger sees fit. Family members you don’t even know could get a portion of your estate that would otherwise go to your closest relatives and friends.

Wills and Estates and Non-Will Estates

This is the law based on the practise of dividing and settling the final Will and Testament of a deceased person. When a Will surfaces, it can be accepted by those left behind, or it can be contested. A lawyer then will advise whether or not the Will is valid.
