Is A Joint Will Your Best Option?

Many couples who have been married for many years naturally think that a will isn’t necessary or a joint will (also known as a mirror-image will) is sufficient to ensure that the property in their estate will go to the surviving spouse. Unfortunately, though, identical wills executed by a husband and wife often create probate problems when a surviving spouse neglects to change the terms and conditions in the event of remarriage or other changes in circumstances.

If you are a widowed senior citizen who has a joint will, or the adult child of an elderly parent, make sure the right will is in place to reflect your specific intentions. Lyons & Supple has been helping individuals and families resolve their estate planning issues for more than 30 years. We will examine the terms and conditions of your joint will and discuss a customized option that is right for your unique needs.

What Is A Pour-Over Will?

A pour-over will is frequently used in connection with a revocable trust. The purpose is to move assets originally excluded from or left out of a trust without public scrutiny. Our firm can prepare a pour-over will to correct this omission and provide that assets left out when the trust was originally established will “pour over” from the estate into the trust after death.
