Draft A WIll So Your Desires Are Met After Death
We believe that everybody should have a will drafted before they die. It’s important to have a legally valid will as without one the court has to follow Montana intestate law when it comes to distributing your personal and real property.
This might not be an issue but if you wanted certain assets to be given to your children or your grandchildren then you should absolutely specify this in a legally valid will.
Having a valid will also simplifies the process after your death. It doesn’t alleviate the possible need for probate but it will reduce the stress and make your passing easier for your loved ones.
There are a lot of planning options that eliminate the need for probate that we can discuss during a free consultation. If you’d like to start drafting a will and building an estate plan then our team will work with you to make sure every one of your needs is met.
Book in to talk with our team of elder law experts today so we can discuss your goals and set up an estate plan to reflect your wishes perfectly.
Create A Trust To Ensure The Future of Your Family
A will is a necessity for any estate plan but when you book in for a free consultation with our team we’ll also discuss whether you should consider writing up a revocable living trust or an irrevocable trust.
Unlike a will, a trust can alleviate the need for probate - if it’s properly funded.
Your situation might benefit from a trust if:
- You have minor children
- You have children from a previous marriage
- You own property outside of Montana
- You have a family member with a disability
- You have a family member with a drug or gambling problem
- You want to protect your assets
- You want to avoid probate
Depending on what your specific goals are with your estate plan, a trust may be a great option. Our firm will be able to discuss the need for a trust in more detail during the consultation.
