Wills Do Not Have To Be Complicated

Every adult should have a will, and making one does not have to be complicated. Mr. Tiller will work with you step by step to create a simple will that suits your individual needs. You will have peace of mind knowing that your property will be dispersed as you wish and your loved ones will be cared for when you pass away.

Don’t put off making a will, declaring a power of attorney, or establishing a guardianship or conservatorship.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

A will can address how certain assets and property should be distributed after your death. It can also name an executor to administer your estate and, in appropriate circumstances, address guardianship of minor children. Your attorney can help you determine what should be included based on your family and financial circumstances.
A will does not generally avoid probate. Instead, a will provides instructions for how your probate estate should be handled and distributed. Other estate planning tools may be appropriate if your goal is to minimize or avoid probate for certain assets.
It is a good idea to review these documents after major life changes, such as marriage, divorce, the death or incapacity of your named agent, a significant change in your finances, or a change in your health care wishes. Even without a major life event, periodically reviewing your documents can help ensure they still reflect your wishes.
