Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I die without a will?
Your estate is distributed according to state intestacy laws, which may not reflect your preferences. Spouses, children, and other relatives receive predefined shares, potentially excluding close friends or charities you care about.
How can I avoid probate?
Strategies like living trusts, joint ownership, and beneficiary designations (e.g., on retirement accounts) can help assets transfer without probate.
How long does probate take?
Simple estates may resolve in 6–12 months, while complex cases (e.g., disputes or large estates) can take years. Proper planning can expedite the process.
Can a will be contested?
Yes, if there are claims of undue influence, fraud, or lack of testamentary capacity. A well-drafted will reduces these risks.
