Bear shit in woods tree fall sound a written document (will) no better than voice ownership of land no deed upon event A event B will happen he said she said
be dead serious about your will or trust
But granny said her estate was left to the cat shelter Jim left his estate to his best friend but his kids now all have new cars, trust but verity when creating a will or trust, no State registration or verification of will and trusts, no state initiating wills or trusts upon death or monitoring client deaths, Fred left his estate to his three sons but now they are all in probate, granny, fred or jim are not around to tell others who has the will or trust and even then they can deny they have it, so if it doesn't surface upom death it doesn't exist (unless in later years it surfaces), if the executor dies and he is the only one who has a copy then what, we all know there should be backup plans but so many have a will, no relative, are alone, have no trusting parties, have not told the executor about their will, or years can go by where the person is estranged and dies and the assets just sit or no one is responsible for identifying the current existing assets for distribution
