Trust BH Law Group for Your Wills and Probate Needs

Planning for the future is crucial, especially when it comes to your assets and loved ones. At BH Law Group, we understand that discussing wills and probate can be a sensitive topic. Our experienced team is here to provide clear, compassionate guidance every step of the way.

Understanding Wills and Probate

A will is a legal document that outlines how you want your assets distributed after you pass away. Probate, on the other hand, is the process of proving the validity of a will and administering the estate according to its terms. Having a will ensures your wishes are followed, while probate helps manage the legal side of things smoothly.

Types of Wills and Estate Planning Services

Simple Wills

A simple will covers basic instructions for distributing your assets. It’s straightforward and suitable for uncomplicated estates.

Testamentary Trusts

These are trusts set up in your will, providing flexibility and protection for your beneficiaries, especially minors or those needing special care.

Living Wills

A living will outlines your medical preferences if you become unable to communicate. It’s about making sure your health care wishes are respected.

Powers of Attorney

This legal document allows someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so, covering both financial and health matters.

Guardianship Arrangements

If you have minor children, you can nominate a guardian in your will to ensure they are cared for by someone you trust.

Common Questions About Wills and Probat

What happens if I die without a will?

If you die without a will, your estate is distributed according to the laws of intestacy, which may not align with your wishes. It’s best to have a will to ensure your assets go where you want them to.

How can I ensure my will is legally valid?

For a will to be valid, it must be in writing, signed by you and witnessed by two people who aren’t beneficiaries. Our team ensures all legal requirements are met.

What is the role of an executor?

An executor manages your estate according to your will, from applying for probate to distributing assets. It’s a big responsibility, and we can guide your chosen executor through the process.
