Times have certainly changed regarding the way estates are handled after someone passes away. It’s not as simple as one may think, especially when the wishes of the deceased were never specified in writing. But what documents are necessary and most appropriate? How do these instruments work within the probate process?
Estate planning is no longer as simple as having a last will and testament. Virtually every state has different laws on matters such as probate and inheritance, making who gets what a very complicated issue. This is especially true for blended families and those with otherwise ‘complicated’ relationships.
Even “perfect” families run into big issues and overwhelm when it comes to settling estates. Rifts can last a lifetime.
