Avoid Probate Court with a Trust. The Will is obsolete and lands you in Court. Instead of 2 months loved ones get much needed funds, it could take 2 years to get money the family needs now. I'm Craig a retired lawyer who does estate planning. A Trust and a will aren't that different. They both take effect when you die. A will is more expensive and lands you in Probate court. They're both legal documents affecting people's futures. Both the will and the Trust are used, but the Trust is the main document. Call Craig at (510)677 - 9078 or text if you need to pass on assets like your house or savings to loved ones. My fee is $999 for a will, Trust, and Power of Attorney package.
