Wills, trusts, and estates is the branch of civil law that covers decedents' estates and probate; wills and intestacy; estates and future interests in property; trusts, gifts, and powers; annuities; and charitable bequests. Probate covers admission of a will to probate and the subsequent proceedings, including the appointment and duties of a personal representative, procedures in probate, and ancillary proceedings. Intestacy, on the other hand, refers to the general rules governing the disposition of the property of someone who dies intestate, i.e., without a will, or who leaves a will that fails to dispose of all assets. The total property remaining before distribution through wills or trusts is known as an estate. Estate planning is done with the intention of preserving maximum assets and minimizing any tax liability. The firm has handled both large and small estates for our clients.
