Warwick, RI Trust Lawyer
When a person passes away without leaving behind a proper estate plan, it only makes things harder for their loved ones. Rather than a reliable road map that explains what should be done with their assets (and what their assets entail in the first place), their entire estate may be distributed according to the decisions of the state. This means that a former spouse or an estranged family member may get control of the estate by default.
Creating a will is much better than having no estate plan at all. With the help of your will and trust lawyer, you can draft up a list of your assets, your beneficiaries, and who gets what after your death. Your family will know what to do after your passing, and there’s much less chance for infighting and legal issues.
However, when you create a will, your family will still need to deal with probate. This is a lengthy process, and it has to be completed before your assets are distributed. First of all, your beneficiaries need to be notified. Then your assets need to be valued. And all the relevant legal fees need to be paid. Unfortunately, at every step of probate, people can contest decisions and hold up the process. A will is better than nothing, but probate’s still a pain.
Fortunately, you can spare your family the probate process by creating a trust. When you work with a Warwick trust lawyer, you can put your assets in a secure trust for the benefit of your loved ones. And since those assets are legally owned by the trust (not by you) your loved ones won’t have to deal with probate after your death.
