Miami criminal law attorney Bauer Brofsky Law Firm recently discussed estate planning tips and working with a reputable attorney in creating a will, dispelling myths associated with the topic and the importance of having an estate plan in place as well as a case involving probate and dubious wills.
Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/15/2016 -- One of the estate planning myths discussed was the importance of having an estate plan to distribute property upon death regardless of how little property an individual property may own. Because of differing state laws an estate may not be distributed in a way that a person deems fit or agrees with. The importance of hiring an estate planning attorney and discussing an estate plan regardless of a person's age was also discussed.
The probate case involved a woman who ended up receiving significantly less than the original sum she was entitled to when her husband passed away upon fleeing to Florida and then subsequently passing away. The man had filed for bankruptcy and also left behind a series of wills that were not probated and had questionable validity, reinforcing the need for an estate planning attorney.
