Creating a Will or Trust

Wills and trusts in the Woodlands dictate what happens to a person’s assets and estate after death. While most people refer to an attorney who helps in these situations as a will attorney or a probate lawyer, they are actually called estate-planning attorneys. When someone decides to create a will or a trust, consulting with a lawyer can ensure that he or she achieves certain estate-planning goals.

In this video, an attorney details the many benefits of working with a lawyer during the estate-planning process. As he explains, a lawyer understands the best avenues for allocating assets following death. For example, a lawyer can help explain when a trust or will is the most effective means to allocate assets to family members. Working with an attorney also ensures accurate preparation of documents, so as to ensure smooth probate and estate execution.
