How A Tri-County Area FL Estate Planning Lawyer Helps Get Family Affairs In Order

By Julio Riess


When 64 percent of Americans do not have a will, that means that many families will be left in flux if something dramatic happens. To avoid this happening to your family, a Tri-County Area FL Estate Planning Lawyer is your best option.

In short, most of us avoid thinking about what will happen after we are dead. But as the recent debacle over Prince's estate highlights, this can cause disastrous results for our families and loved ones. We don't even have to be rich or famous to leave behind terrible consequences.

If you do not make a will, that means that almost anything can happen to your property. If there is a spouse, they generally get everything, and kids will come next in line if there is no spouse to pass it on to. This could cause a lot of hurt feelings along the way, not to mention the question of who takes custody of the children. The state you live in might have to determine these things instead.

Grown children who are from a different spouse than the one you had upon your death could get left out in the cold unless you have a will. If everything goes to your spouse and they feel they were entitled, it could bring about big animosity and maybe even lawsuits that are very bad for family morale.

The best thing to do to avoid all this possible consternation is to hire a lawyer to help you with your will. You should ensure the will points out who gets everything in your estate, from money to property and expensive items such as jewelry. This way, everyone gets something and there are no hard feelings or lawsuits involved.

Let us help you. Small things can cause large squabbles if they are not set out clearly beforehand. Let us help you to give property to the people you want the property to go to.
