Frequently asked questions
- What happens if you die without a will?
If you pass away without a last will, this is known as dying "intestate." When this happens, state laws determine who will receive your property. The laws governing intestacy vary greatly from state to state.
- What is probate?
Probate is the legal process through which the court oversees how an estate will be distributed. If you signed a last will, your estate passes to the beneficiaries named. If not, your estate passes to relatives based on state law. Generally, a formal probate action is required if an estate includes real property. But in many states, probate isn't required and other legal remedies are available if the estate is of minimal value.
- What is a living trust?
It's a legal document that states who you want to manage and distribute your property if you're unable to do so, and who receives it when you pass away. Once signed, you transfer ownership of your assets into the trust and you remain in complete control of your property. The trust property can be managed and distributed without going through the probate court.
- If I already have a last will, why do I need a living will?
Though they sound similar, a last will and a living will are two very different things that serve different needs. A last will details what you want to happen to your property after your death. A living will, sometimes called an advance directive, dictates the medical care you wish to receive under certain circ*mstances if you become incapacitated or otherwise unable to communicate your wishes.
- Is a last will or living trust best for my state?
The laws regarding what happens to your property after your death can be very complex and vary widely from state to state. We recommend talking to an attorney for advice.
