One of the common mistakes
made by most people is that they think
an up to date will is the only and best
way to protect their estate. Nothing
could be further from the truth. There
is an alternative to a will.
If you have a will, you can bet it
will have to go through Probate Court
after your death because of your per­
sonal property. A Probate Court is a
court which handles the distribution
of the personal propery of a decedent.
It should be noted that it can take
weeks, months or even years before
the Probate Court proceedings are
completed. This could cost you thou­
sands of dollars in court and attorney
fees. Is it really worth it to have a will
if only your personal property is go­
ing through Probate Court? It can
cost the estate a lot of money.
When your will goes through
Probate Court, it becomes a matter of
public record. Anyone can find out
anything that they want to know about
you.yourfamilyandyourassets. This
kind of open access has caused a lot of
problems and all kinds of legal en­
tanglements. It has caused some dis­
tant relatives to contest the will which
means if they contest the will and it is
found to be invalid due to a technical­
ity, it could wind up being set aside
and you could wind up having a judge
ditribulc your assets using some legal
formula which may not be your origi­
nal intent.
In som e states, real estate does
no t p ass th ro u g h the P ro b ate
C ourt. You should know , hoever,
every state has its ow n statutes.
You should check your state s ta t­
utes before you begin to make
plans for your personal and real
estate property.
Many states have altered their
law s relating to adopted children.
A dopted children may have the
sam e rig h ts as the natural c h il­
dren o f the d e c e a s e d p erso n .
H ow ever, it should be noted that
the rights o f an adopted person
are only recognized by law in the
state w here adoption took place
and may not be recognized by law
in som e o th er states.
