Don’t let the Court Determine how Your Hard-earned Money Will be Distributed

Can you imagine a judge who knows nothing about you or your family dynamics determining how your hard-earned assets are distributed to your family members and others? This is exactly what will occur if you die intestate. Dying intestate means passing away without a will and last testament. Chances are the judge will determine your assets are to be distributed to your spouse, your kids, parents and/or siblings. In general, judges typically determine a spouse is most deserving of such assets, followed by children. The court system will search through the entirety of your estate and apply the law, meaning this process will take time and prove quite uncertain.
