In Every Will, a Story Unfolds

Navigating the topic of your will may seem daunting, and understandably so. However, taking proactive steps to establish your will ensures that your wishes are known and your family is protected. At Warren & Fontana, we understand the sensitivity of this process, and our goal is to make it as approachable and supportive as possible, providing you with the reassurance that your intentions will be honored.

Guardianship, Asset Distribution, Peace of Mind

Maintaining your will is crucial, especially amid life changes like births, deaths, marriages, or divorces that can profoundly affect your wishes and financial circumstances. Regular updates ensure your will accurately reflects your current intentions, preventing potential legal issues or disputes among heirs. Although some may attempt to create a will independently, the intricate legal language and potential pitfalls make professional legal assistance, such as that provided by Warren & Fontana, essential. Their qualified attorneys ensure your will complies with state laws, encompasses all assets, and minimizes the risk of disputes, offering streamlined expertise for clarity and peace of mind.

What happens if you don't leave a Will?

Dying without a will, known as dying "intestate," means the state laws determine how your estate will be distributed. In this situation, the probate court appoints an administrator to manage your estate and follows a predetermined legal process to distribute assets among your heirs. The distribution typically prioritizes immediate family members, like spouses and children, but the specifics vary depending on the state's intestacy laws. This process might lead to outcomes that differ from what you would have preferred, and it can result in potential disputes among family members. Creating a will allows you to express your wishes clearly and ensures your assets are distributed according to your preferences.

Navigating with Confidence

It's difficult to think about what could happen to your loved-ones after your passing, but planning ahead allows you to live every day knowing that they're protected.

  • Guardianship for Minors

    If you have minor children, a will is crucial for appointing a guardian to care for them in the event of your passing.

  • Avoiding Intestacy

    Creating a will helps you avoid intestacy, where state laws dictate the distribution of your assets, potentially leading to outcomes you wouldn't have chosen. A well-drafted will can reduce the likelihood of disputes among family members regarding your estate and allow you to clearly outline how you want your assets to be distributed after your death.
