Q:<br />

Upon my death, won’t my children automatically inherit my<br />

estate and if I have no children don’t my assets pass to my closest<br />

living relatives making a Last Will and Testament or other forms<br />

of estate planning unnecessary?<br />

A: With or without a Last Will, in order for your assets to reach<br />

your heirs or other beneficiaries, a probate court proceeding is<br />

generally required to transfer your assets. An attorney must be<br />

hired to petition the court to supervise disbursement of your<br />

assets as directed by your Will or state law. To avoid probate you<br />

should consider preparing a Revocable Living Trust to transfer<br />

assets at your death.<br />
