Wills

There are several types of wills, and knowing how to make even a “Simple Will” work in a manner that ensures distribution consistent with your straightforward wishes is why using an attorney makes all the difference to having a successful plan. Yes, you can try to prepare a “Simple Will” yourself, but, unless you’re an attorney, you may not realize what you have omitted or what ensures the Will is valid not only in Virginia but all 50 States at your death. We can help you determine which is the correct type of will for your estate. Once you’ve created your detailed Will, it is important to keep it updated. For any significant life change or asset purchase, you should contact The Law Office of Patricia E. Tichenor, P.L.L.C to determine how this may impact your existing estate plan. The solution could be as simply as a beneficiary designation or as complex as moving from solely a Will to using a revocable living Trust plan, depending on the nature of the change experienced or anticipated.
