Drafting A Will

Your will is an essential part of your estate plan. Your will is a written legal document that specifies how and to whom you want your assets distributed after your death. Upon death a written will must be filed with the New York judicial system. The court then supervises the distribution of your assets. Many people incorrectly believe that if their estate is modest and not subject to estate taxes, there will be no need for probate. This is a misconception! Any estate where assets must be distributed through the provisions of a will is subject to probate, regardless of whether the estate is taxable.

If someone passes without a will (intestate), the state determines how their assets are divided, and who their beneficiaries should be. A judge appoints an executor of your estate and he or she handles all the administrative duties associated with it. If you’re like most people, you’ll want to plan as to not leave these decisions up to your home state.
