Wills, Trusts, and Probate Law

Wills, Trusts, and Probate Law include the legal processes and rules that govern the management and disbursement of an individual's assets after death, as well as how individuals can manage and protect their assets during their lifetime. These include the creation of wills and trusts—legal documents that direct the distribution of an individual's property upon their passing.  

Probate is a process by which a deceased person's estate is handled through the court system. Probate governs the administration of the estate and includes inventory of assets, payment of debts or taxes, and the distribution of any remaining assets. These legal mechanisms are designed to ensure that a person's wishes regarding their estate are fulfilled.
