Being prepared for the future is only possible if you start planning today. Working with a Fairfax estate planning attorney from Select Law Partners PLLC ensures that you’ll stay in complete control of how your assets are managed and who benefits from your estate.
If you pass without a will, your estate is distributed in-line with the intestacy laws of your state. Intestacy statutes dictate how and to whom your property would pass based on relevant legislation. Your wishes are not taken into account in this situation, and the state largely hijacks the process, which can lead to outcomes that you might not have desired.
The distribution of inheritance can be a significant cause of family turmoil when a will isn’t clear as to how property passes through your estate. The complexity of your will depends upon your preferences in how your estate is broken up, and impacts how effectively and efficiently the process is managed.
