• What is intestate succession?

Each state provides an estate plan for a person who does not have a Will. These are referred to as state intestacy statutes. These statutes set forth who inherits from an intestate estate, based on their relationship to the decedent. Generally, if a person knew how his or her property would be distributed under these statutes, most would choose to have a Will and be able to have the property distributed according to their wishes. In the explanation that follows, the terms "issue" or "descendants" generally means all lineal descendants of all generations. The term "representation" generally means that the class with the nearest degree of kinship (usually children) is divided into one share for each surviving child and one share for each deceased child who left issue surviving. The share...

• Your Financial Advisor: Wills: Vital in Estate Planning

If you care about what happens to your money, home and other property after you die, you need to do some estate planning. There are many tools you can use to achieve your estate planning goals, but a will is probably the most vital. Even if you're young or your estate is modest, you should always have a legally valid and up-to- date will. This is especially important if you have minor children because, in many states, your will is the only legal way you can name a guardian for them. Although a will doesn't have to be drafted by an attorney to be valid, seeking an attorney's help can ensure that your will accomplishes what you intend. Probably the greatest advantage of a will is that it allows you to avoid intestacy. That is, with a will you get to choose who will get your property, rath...

• Why It Is Crucial to Have a Will?

If you die without a will, the State of Florida has taken the liberty to create a will for you. It is called intestate succession and your possessions that you own individually will pass through this formula. If you leave it to the State of Florida to determine where your possessions will go, it is possible that some people that you did not want to have your possessions will get them, and people that you wanted to have your possessions will receive nothing. It will also increase the likelihood that your loved ones will fight over what mom told me she wanted me to have and what dad said would be mine when he died. Keisha N.
