Fighting For Your Inheritance
When a person dies, the decedent’s loved ones must deal with the decedent’s property. The first question the decedent’s family members need to ask is: did the decedent have an estate plan in the form of a Will or a Trust?
If the decedent did have an estate plan, the terms of the Will or Trust will govern who is entitled to receive the property. If the decedent did not sign a Will or Trust before passing, the decedent’s property may be distributed to the family members is accordance with the State’s intestacy laws . Wills and Trusts are administered through different methods. The decedent’s heirs and the beneficiaries are entitled to copies of the Will and Trust.
