Wills, Estate and Probate

Why a will is important?

• A Will can be complicated because a person’s estate could include business bonds and shares, real estate, cash savings, jewelry, vintage collections, and other personal items.  
• A Will is the safest and the most efficient way to distribute these items.  If a person passed away without a will, his/her estate would follow the rules of intestacy, which may be different in different jurisdictions. 
• The distribution outcome may not fit the estate holder’s or the beneficiaries’ expectations.
• Most importantly, child custody can also be distributed via a Will. Without one, the children may be taken to foster care or by people appointed by the court.

Importance of having a lawyer
