Never in the history of humanity has government been a lasting friend to human freedom. If you believe that, somehow, Probate court gets a pass on that truism, remember the words of Benjamin Franklin: If you want to know the true character of a man, share an inheritance with him.
Or, as I like to paraphrase Ben: If you want to know the true character of a person, get in a fight with them over caring for an aged, demented parent; disposition of the body; or distribution of stuff to people who didn’t earn it.
So avoid Probate court through powers of attorney, wills and trusts. If you find yourself there any way, at least know the turf.
Probate Court: Widows, Orphans and . . .
Trusts
A trust is a legal entity established to hold assets for a certain amount of time, then pass them along todesignated beneficiaries. A qualified attorney will help in valid trust disputes – trust litigation — when someone disagrees with the instructions in the trust or the actions of the trustee.
