Coral Gables Estate Planning & Probate
What happens when you don’t have a will?
The courts will get involved. Creditors will have their hands out, and your family will have to deal with distributing your assets in a legal & timely manner, which usually overlaps funeral proceedings. This is the raw and honest truth, and it’s vital that you create a Will to lessen this enormous loss for your family.
In the case you don’t have a Will, the biggest share of your wealth automatically goes to your legal spouse, while the children get what is left.
The formula for this can be complicated because seldom do assets come as a single aggregate. The belongings of the deceased will have to be determined first before an actionable plan on distribution can be made.
This is a slow and exhausting process. Therefore, those who are still living can avoid this serious inconvenience for their loved ones by arranging the required documents beforehand.
