If you Own a Home: Upon your passing, if your primary home values above $750,000.00 it may be subject to Probate courts.

beneficiaries time and money.

guardianships for their children, otherwise the state courts will appoint a legal guardian to raise your minor children. In addition, with a Living Trust you can
specify exactly how you want your assets distributed & what age your heirs should receive their inheritance.
