Does a will require your family to go to probate court? The answer to that is yes. If all you have is a will, your family must take it to court to make it legally enforceable. Here's my take on wills. A will is like requiring your family to file a lawsuit against themselves that they will pay for and only to benefit your creditors. The only people that will come out of probate court ahead are your creditors. Do your family a favor and die with a trust. A revocable living trust will bypass probate court completely. It will be much cheaper in the long run, and it will happen much, much quicker than they will ever get through probate court. For more information like this, follow my channel.
