Wills
Trusts
That question cannot be answered without knowing more about the trust and how/if it was properly funded. There are different types of trusts. There are trusts you create during your lifetime - sometimes called "living trusts" - and there are trusts created by will - sometimes called "testamentary trusts." Testamentary trusts, because they are created under a person's will, always require probate because they require the will to be admitted to probate for their very existence. Living trusts
Power of Attorney
Nancy and I have recently engaged Banchy Law's services for our wills, and power of attorney for health care and finances. Attorney Greg Banchy is very easy to work with, approachable, available and talks to us in words we understand. He uses no legal jargon, his work is prompt and very organized, and the finished product is fantastically organized and easy to understand. All the information is very explicitly explained and you are well informed as to what you are signing.
Probate
The Banchy Law Center provides a full range of probate services to help you after the loss of a loved one. We're happy to answer all of your questions and help make this difficult time go as smooth as possible for you and your family.
