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.

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.
