What is an Estate Plan?

An estate plan is a comprehensive plan for how your belongings will be distributed after a person’s passing. It includes legal documents that will ensure your belongings go to the right people or charities when you die, such as wills, trusts, and combinations of the two.

Dying without a Will or Trust

If you die without a will, your estate will be distributed to people by a method called intestate succession. This means that the court will follow the laws in West Virginia for how a deceased person’s assets are to be distributed. While these laws are designed to distribute property in a way that would seem effective, it doesn’t always work out quite right.

Many families have unique relationships, and you may wish for some people to get more, less, or nothing at all. You may have special wishes for how people receive money. For example you may want them to get money slowly over several years, or you may want them to receive funds by going to school full-time. Without an estate plan, your assets and belongings could be distributed incorrectly.
