A will ensures exactly how your estate will be handled after you’re gone. It can relieve loved ones of a great deal of stress and help them avoid heavy tax burdens. Without a will, decisions about your estate can be made by people who you may not know or trust. As difficult as it may be to discuss your own passing, you’re likely to find peace of mind by getting your affairs in order.

In a trust, your property is managed by a person or organization (the trustee) for the benefit of another (the beneficiary). People often create a trust to avoid probate (the process by which legal title to property is transferred from the estate of a person who has died), manage tax implications, contribute to a charity, or provide for children or persons who don’t have the ability to manage money.

We might even fight to have that will nullified. Let LaCorte, Bundy, Varady & Kinsella remove any unnecessary legal stress related to a loved one’s passing.

Evidence to suggest such a situation may include but not be limited to:
