A will is a document that tells a person’s family or heirs and the courts how to distribute his or her assets and property. A will is a basic estate planning tool, and a current and valid will is the best way to make sure your property is distributed according to your wishes and your family is taken care of after you’re gone. Many people also use trusts in conjunction with their will, as an independent estate planning tool, or both. Whether you want to prepare your first will or you are interested in updating your estate plan or exploring trusts, the attorneys at Dennis P. Faller Attorney can help you tailor a plan to suit your needs.

Since your financial circumstances, your family circumstances and objectives, and even the law itself can change over time, it is advisable to review and update your will with professional attorneys periodically.
