Wills/Probate

A will dictates to those who survive you how you wish to have your estate divided and who you wish to receive your assets. It also names an Executor who will carry out your wishes. If you have minor children, it can establish a trust for their future welfare and will name a Guardian with whom the children will reside.

A will or trust can also be an estate-planning device. The size of your estate usually determines whether you need a simple will, a will containing a trust or a trust established during your lifetime.

Probate court serves many functions. The most frequent purpose is to assure that the decedent's wishes are carried out. The probate court is also responsible for overseeing minor's estates and guardianship estates for person's whose mental or physical condition prevents them from handling their own affairs.
