Wheels are easily sidestepped and they’re not that legally binding. In my state I had a lawyer tell me that bills can be contested easily and he gave a few examples, such as if the witnesses to the will or deceased the will can be contested, if the lawyer’s office at the will was administrative is that a business, that will can be contested.

It’s almost unbelievable how easily it is to contest a will and the Fly by Night computer programs, and this and that is all Bs because wheels are not that legally binding.

If you want to keep it legally binding you transfer things to your family before your death, or... you draw up a trust with a lawyer, and in many cases it’s not who you want the money to go to or the estate, it becomes who you don’t want the estate to go to and that’s the purpose of a trust.

If probate issues are on your list of concerns call a lawyer who deals and trusts and get a good solid lawyer, with good recommendations, and one who will probably give you a free consultation (most do).

‘Wheels are easily sidestepped and they’re not that legally binding.’

sounds like you’re just going in circles...
