Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Do you need a will if youre married with no children?

Last wills for each spouse must be created to work together. The result: the other spouses family can end up being disinherited. In California, if your estate exceeds $166,250, we recommend you have a revocable living trust.

Who inherits when there is no will in the USA?

Generally, only spouses, registered domestic partners, and blood relatives inherit under intestate succession laws; unmarried partners, friends, and charities get nothing. If the deceased person was married, the surviving spouse usually gets the largest share.

Do married couples each need a will?

Some couples think that they can have one joint will together, but this is not a sound approach. Spouses need separate wills. Even if the majority of the information in your wills is nearly identical, you still need to each have your own.

What is the 120 hour rule in Virginia?

Except as provided in 64.2-2205 for purposes of a donative provision of a governing instrument, an individual who is not established by clear and convincing evidence to have survived an event, including the death of another individual, by 120 hours is deemed to have predeceased the event.

Does a married couple without children need a will?

When you fail to have an estate plan in place, the state of California will decide how your assets will be distributed and it could be in ways you would not be happy with. If you are married, then your marital assets will automatically go to your spouse in the event of your death.

If the Deceased Was Married at the Time of Death The court will distribute the deceaseds separate property as follows: If the deceased had no children, grandchildren, parents, siblings, nieces, or nephews, the surviving spouse will take all of the deceaseds separate probate assets.

What makes a will invalid in Virginia?

Any mentally competent person who is at least eighteen years old may make a will. However, later proof of any fraud, duress, or undue influence by another person on the testator may cause the will to be invalid.
