While many people believe that establishment of trusts to account for transfer of assets will help avoid probate court and ensure a smooth transfer of assets with minimal tax liability, we advise everyone to have a will. Even those with modest estates should have a will. A will tells the courts how to distribute assets that have not been covered by a trust, or other estate planning tool.

To discuss wills, and how to go about creating a will that will account for all assets and the care of minor children, contact us at the Law Offices of H. Michael Soroy.

A revocable trust is a common means of avoiding probate. However, a will is necessary to determine guardianships for minor children, and to account for any property which has not been deeded to a trust. A will also accounts for transfer of heirlooms and other tangible assets such as antiques which may not be part of a revocable trust or other asset transfer instruments.

In all areas of our practice, we are responsive and attentive to clients' needs and goals. We are careful to address all concerns and communicate clearly to help ensure that our legal services will meet your goals whenever possible.
