Problems residents of Rockland County and surrounding areas often experience without wills:

If you do not develop a will, you are preparing your family and loved ones to face problems and delays and have more of your estate wasted on taxes and expenses that could have otherwise been avoided.  Here are five problems the residents of Rockland County will face if they do not develop a will:

1. When there is no will your decedents will be required to bring an administrative proceeding in order to access your assets. In an administration proceeding, you assets will be distributed according to the law, rather than your wishes;
2. The administrator will be required to file a bond with the court. These bonds are expensive and subtract from what you can pass on;
3. Your heirs may fight over who is in charge, as there is no will to define who will execute your last wishes, resulting in lengthy delays ad substantial court costs;
4. Your heirs may fight over and initiate litigation to lay claim to assets, again resulting in lengthy delay and substantial costs. Fighting can, and usually does, ruin relationships between family members;
5. Without a properly planed estate, it is likely that you will pay more in taxes than if you had planned and prepared a will;.
6. Disabled beneficiaries may lose benefits they are otherwise entitled to, and they may be eliminated from certain government programs they might relay on.
