You may direct who gets what with a Will (and, sometimes, one or more Trusts). If you do not have a Will, your property will be distributed according to the laws of \u201cintestate succession.\u201d Either way, with or without a Will, a Probate Court issues orders for the specific distribution of all property (including land, personal property, and money), including the payment of debts. The right kind of Trust (including a number of special kinds of trusts) may allow property to be held and\/or passed outside of the probate process; trusts can also save taxes, avoid unwanted publicity, provide for graduated distributions, and accomplish other special purposes.<\/p>\n
John Bodle can design the right Will (and trust or trusts) to pass your property as you wish. And when it becomes your sad duty to distribute the property of a recently-departed loved one, John Bodle can handle the probate process from beginning to end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
