What Happens if I Die Without a Will?
By: Attorney Gina C. Ziegelbauer
As an estate planning attorney, I see first-hand how proper planning can save major headaches (and potentially money!) for the people you leave behind. But the reality is, many people pass away with no planning in place. So what happens then? What if you die without a Will?
Like so many of my answers, it really depends on your situation. If you die without a Will but all of your assets have payable-on-death, transfer-on-death,

Can I Leave an Inheritance to My Pet?
At first this question might seem unusual, but according to the American Pet Products Association three in five U.S. households own a pet, which resulted in an estimated $99 billion dollars spent on pets in the U.S. in 2020.

It seems like we’ve all received those scam calls letting you know your “vehicle warranty has expired,” “there is a problem with your credit card,” or that you need to take some type of action with regard to your social security, bank accounts, tech support, or who-knows-what.

Wills
By: Attorney Gina C. Ziegelbauer
When people think of estate planning, they often think of a Will. Although a Will is an important part of an estate plan, a Will might not do what you think.
Most importantly, a Will does not avoid probate for titled assets. Your Will is actually the document that will tell the court how you want your estate handled if your estate does go through probate. Your Will contains the instructions to your personal
