Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.
Wills and trusts are tools used involved with estate planning, wealth preservation and asset protection. They are used for strategic purposes, based on individual client circumstances, to ultimately pass along assets of a decedent to his or her heirs based on their intentions. A will is a legal document which names an executor, who will be responsible for following the instructions listed in the document after death. A will typically encompasses all property and assets except those contained in joint tenancy or in a trust.
Certain steps must be taken to ensure that your will is valid, including: 1 The creator must be an adult (18 years old) and be in sound mind (competent) when establishing the will 2 This legal document should be done in writing 3 It must be signed by the maker and done in the presence of two witnesses 4 Beneficiaries, who should not be witnesses, are named and assets allocated among them 5 Wills may be altered at any time prior to death
If an individual passes away without a will in place, then the probate court must assume responsibility to appoint an administrator for finalizing the estate and distribution among surviving heirs is done according to state law. A will is important so that this process is implemented based upon your specific wishes. Rather than a court selected administrator, the will names an executor of your choice and also may make important designations such as guardianship for any minor children.
