A last will and testament identifies how your assets and property are to be distributed after your death; you can also designate a guardian for your minor children in your will. Through a living will, you are able to specific what kind of medical care you wish to receive if you are incapacitated. At your death, your will enters probate, a process by which your estate plan is executed.
A revocable or irrevocable trust, which can be created and administered prior to your death, holds assets for the use of your beneficiaries, subject to rules that you set forth, and enforced by the trustee. A special needs trust can be created to provide supplementary income for your elderly parents or sick children, in such a way that does not affect their income-based eligibility for government assistance programs.
Creation of a trust allows your beneficiaries to bypass the probate process in the event of your death. A pour-over will is used to bring any unaccounted-for assets into the trust.
Marshall A. Coyle can assist with the creation of wills and trusts, in addition to trust administration and trust litigation. Contested wills and trusts are disputed in probate court. If you suspect problems with will or trust formation, or trust administration, it is crucial that you begin working with an experienced probate attorney immediately to avoid missing the strict guidelines for disputing wills and trusts.
