Will, Conservatorships, Guardianships, Probate

Will
Regardless of the size of your estate, everyone needs a Will.
This legal document expresses your individual wishes regarding distribution of your solely owned property after your death.

Conservatorship
If you are judged to be incapable of handling your own affairs,
a court will name an individual or institution to manage your property, unless you name someone while you are still capable.

Guardianships
Guardianships are established to care for a minor or incompetent person’s well-being. A Guardian of the Person is in charge of the care of a physical well-being, while a Conservator is in charge of the care of a minor or incompetent person’s financial well-being.

Probate
Probate is the process of interpreting a decedent’s last Will and Testament, or determining whether the Will is valid. It can also include the process of determining distribution of assets if the decedent passes without a Will (intestate).
