A will should provide clear instructions on how you would like the assets in your estate to be distributed after you pass away. You can make those instructions as general or as specific as you would wish. You could choose to leave your property in shares, or you could choose to list specific beneficiaries as recipients of specific types of property. For instance, you could leave a residence, vehicle or personal property such as art jewelry or heirlooms to one or more specific beneficiaries. You could also name a charity or other organization as a beneficiary.
No two Wills are alike. You may think that hand-writing a Will, or typing one up by yourself is adequate for your loved ones to administer your estate, however, most do not understand the legal implications of an improperly written Last Will and Testament. Every state has its own requirements and it is best that you hire a competent estate planning attorney to prepare your Last Will and Testament. Based on your individual assets, I will be in the best position to guide you and prepare an estate plan that will accomplish all of your end of life goals and will also protect your loved ones to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

Yes, your trust will be created to include your specific estate planning objectives. Whether it’s providing for the inheritance of your minor child, or planning for your favorite charities, each trust is unique and will include your estate distribution and will name your successor trustees and your beneficiaries, much like a Will, but will be administered without the need for a probate.
