FAQ

Wills

• Do I need a will if I have a trust?

  Yes. Even if you have a trust, a will can serve as a “pour-over” will, transferring any assets not already in your trust.

• Can I write my own will?

  While DIY wills are available, they often lack the precision and legal compliance necessary to avoid disputes or probate complications. Attorney-prepared wills provide greater assurance.

• How often should I update my will?

  It’s wise to review your will after major life events such as marriage, divorce, birth of children, or significant changes in assets.

• What happens if I die without a will?

  State intestacy laws will determine asset distribution, which may not reflect your preferences and can lead to delays and family conflict.
