Common questions

Is a will enough?

Sometimes. Accounts with named beneficiaries, and property owned with someone else, may pass outside the will. A lawyer looks at the whole picture rather than one document.

What is probate?

It is the court process for a will, or for an estate with no will. It is public, and it has deadlines for people who want to object.
