Did you know? The shortest will ever admitted to probate in English law was admitted in 1906 and simply read, "All for mother." Surprisingly, "mother" referred to the testator's wife, not his mother. 🤯 The testator was known to call his wife "mother," and after evidence of such was presented, the court ruled that his wife was entitled to the estate. 🧑⚖️ Wills must be properly executed and witnessed, and the testator should not be mentally incapacitated or under duress. Ambiguities and complications are a huge risk with DIY wills. Don't leave your wishes up to the interpretation of a probate court judge. Ensure your estate plan is comprehensive and leaves no room for ambiguity.

Is having a trust a guarantee your estate won’t land in probate? Not necessarily. Creating a trust is only the first step—it also must be funded by transferring the title of your property from your name into the name of the trust. Property left outside of the trust inadvertently can end up having to go through probate anyway, subjecting your loved ones to the stress, expense, and delay you were hoping to avoid. Don’t take a chance with the legacy you leave behind. At Velasco Law Group, our experienced attorneys will ensure that no detail is overlooked in creating your comprehensive estate plan. To learn more about avoiding probate, schedule a consultation in English or Spanish today. 📞562-432-5541 https://lnkd.in/gDXxhQaq #trust #estateplanning #probate #probateavoidance #expense #delay #attorney #lawfirm #longbeach #downey #irvine
