A will is a legally enforceable expression of how and to whom a person wishes to distribute their property after death.  The law generally recognizes the right of a property owner to dispose of his property as they see fit, so long as the disposition is not illegal, and will attempt to enforce that right after person’s death by honoring his wishes.  The will is the instrument the law relies upon to learn exactly what those wishes are.

​

As with so many aspects of the law, however simple the law may appear, there are many traps for the unwary. Paul Fairfield is a will attorney who gets it right the first time.
