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.
