Call your will attorney with any questions you may have about dispersing your assets. If you are wondering about the options available to you, take a moment to review the following summary:
- Last Will and Testament: This method of asset distribution allows you to designate and bequeath portions, percentages or even specific items from your estate to specific individuals, groups and/or organizations. All final testaments are subject to processing through the probate courts.
- Trust: This method of asset distribution is actually a private transaction that allows you to transfer the legal title to your property into the care of another individual, bank or other entity for the benefit of a chosen beneficiary. Because trusts are not public documents and can be performed privately, they are not subject to probate processing.
- Living Trust: This method of asset distribution allows you to transfer the legal title to your property into a trust for distribution once your life has ended. It allows your beneficiaries to avoid the probate process. However, a living trust is not immune from creditors or liens, and they can also be challenged on the grounds of duress, undue influence, lack of legal capacity and other legal grounds.
- A will attorney from our firm can provide you with detailed explanations of the pros and cons associated with each of the aforementioned methods of asset distribution.
A will attorney from our firm can also draft and file your living will, which is not to be confused with a final testament. A living will is a detailed document written on the behalf of an individual who wishes to avoid certain medical services that would prolong their life, if they in circumstances that might leave them severely handicapped, debilitated or in a vegetative state.
