Plan for the unexpected with reliable Wills at Fairfield Law Office. You can ensure that your wishes will be followed by drafting a comprehensive Last Will and Testament with our help. A Will generally is a set of instructions to the court that allows you to specify how your assets will be distributed to your designated heirs.
A Will does NOT avoid Probate but can make the Probate process less expensive and allows your personal representative (formerly known as Executor) to manage the Probate process more easily. A Will also does not allow flexibility if one or more of your heirs are disabled or becomes disabled, which otherwise often results in the need for a Conservatorship managed by the court, which is very expensive.
While a Last Will and Testament does not avoid probate through state court, it does allow the administration of the Estate by the court to move forward with greater ease and efficiency. Your Will also allows you to name a legal guardian to take care of your minor children and to appoint someone to settle your affairs.
