    Thrilled with professional results
    Just a lot of New Year's Joy. I am so thrilled with the expertise and professional results with Sexton Law Firm. I had never needed an attorney. But with my injury, I inquired this firm to represent me. This is a generational company of 30 years. On spot and so very professional, wove my questions and concerns into a wonderful tapestry of lawful truths. I have learned a lot from the Sexton Law Firm, and also was put at ease in the process of my legal rights. I strongly recommend THE SEXTON LAW FIRM. 100%. Thanks to them, I am at peace for my 'Workers Comp case'. Most sincerely, Tanya Lenmark.

    Common Questions
    • Can I change my will or trust?
      Yes, you can change your will or trust as long as you are mentally competent. A new will can be written, or an amendment called a codicil can be added. Trusts can be revised depending on their type; revocable trusts can be altered or terminated, while irrevocable trusts usually cannot be changed once established.
    • What is a will?
      A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death. It can also specify guardians for minor children and an executor to manage your estate. Creating a will ensures your wishes are respected and can help avoid disputes among heirs.
    • How can a trust avoid probate?
      By placing your assets into a living trust, they can be distributed directly to beneficiaries without going through probate. This can save time, reduce costs, and maintain privacy compared to the probate process associated with wills.
    • Do I need both a will and a trust?
      While not necessary, having both can be beneficial. A will can cover aspects not included in a trust, such as appointing guardians for minors. Trusts manage and distribute assets efficiently. Consulting with an estate planning attorney can help determine the best approach based on your situation.
