FAQs About Wills & Estates

We make it easy to get started. Here are a few common questions we hear about planning for the future.

  • What’s the difference between a will and a trust?

    A will outlines how your assets should be handled after your death and typically goes through probate court. A trust, by contrast, can help avoid probate and allow you to set specific conditions on asset distribution. We help you decide what combination best suits your needs and goals.

  • When is the right time to create a will?

    The best time to create a will is now. If you own property, have children, or simply want to control how your assets are handled, a will is essential. Waiting until later can create confusion or hardship for your loved ones. We’ll help you get it done right—and easily.

  • Can I change my will or trust later?

    Yes. Life changes—and your plan should change with it. Marriage, divorce, children, or major financial shifts are all good reasons to review and update your estate plan. We help clients amend their documents as needed, keeping everything up to date.

  • What happens if I die without a will?

    If you die without a valid will, Connecticut’s intestacy laws will decide who inherits your assets. This may not align with your wishes. Creating even a basic will ensures that your property and your loved ones are protected according to your intentions.

  • Is probate always required?

    Not always. Small estates or assets held in trusts can often bypass probate. However, if you only have a will (or no plan at all), your estate will likely need to go through the probate process. We guide clients through strategies to minimize or avoid probate where possible.
