Your estate is comprised of everything you own-your car, home, other real estate, checking and savings accounts, investments, life insurance, furniture, and other personal possessions.
No matter how large or how modest, everyone has an estate.
With advanced planning, you can control which assets will be disposed of in accordance with your Will and/or Trust and which assets will be disposed of outside of your probate estate.
A majority of bank accounts, retirement accounts, and life insurance policies will transfer ownership at death through payable on death designations (POD), joint tenancy with right of survivorship, or a designated beneficiary.

You can include any number of persons or charities to receive your assets in the terms of your Will.
Please note that a Will cannot override the terms of a beneficiary designation at a financial institution.
Unfortunately, a family member who is disinherited or receives a small share of the estate may also be motivated to challenge your Will.
Commonly, family members can challenge a document offered for probate based on various allegations including but not limited to a claim that the Will was not properly executed, there was undue influence, or it was signed as a result of duress.
