Why It Matters

Without a plan, the court decides everything.

When someone dies without an estate plan, their assets go through probate — a public, court-supervised process that can take 18 months and cost tens of thousands of dollars. A judge, not you, decides who gets what.

Probate is expensive
Attorney and executor fees typically consume 5–8% of your estate's gross value.
Probate is slow
The average estate takes 12–18 months to settle. Complex estates can take years.
Probate is public
Your assets, debts, and beneficiaries become part of the public record.
Estate planning consultation
A trust avoids probate entirely.
Assets transfer directly to beneficiaries — no court, no delays, no public record.
