WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?
Wills & Trusts
Use the link below to contact Meza Talbott Law regarding your legal inquiry. To help best serve your inquiry, please be as detailed as possible. Your information will not be shared with any third-party.
At Meza Talbott Law, we help you create a legally binding will that ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and that your loved ones are protected. A well-crafted will provides clear instructions, minimizes disputes, and gives you peace of mind knowing your estate is in order.
Without a will, the state determines how your assets are divided, which may not align with your intentions. We take the time to understand your unique situation and craft a personalized estate plan that safeguards your legacy and ensures your final wishes are honored.
Ensures Your Wishes Are Honored
A will allows you to specify exactly how your assets should be distributed, ensuring your loved ones receive what you intend. Without one, the state will decide how to divide your estate, which may not align with your wishes.
Appoints Guardians for Minor Children
If you have minor children, a will lets you legally designate a guardian to care for them if something happens to you. Without a will, the court will make this decision on your behalf.
Prevents Family Disputes & Delays
A clearly written will reduces confusion and potential conflicts among your heirs. It helps avoid legal battles and ensures a smooth transfer of assets to your beneficiaries.

The Importance of a Will
A will is a crucial part of your estate plan, ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Below are answers to common questions about why having a will is essential.
What happens if I die without a will?
If you pass away without a will, your assets will be distributed according to state intestacy laws, which may not reflect your wishes. This could lead to delays, legal fees, and disputes among family members.
Can I change my will after I create it?
Yes! You can update or revise your will at any time through a codicil (amendment) or by drafting a new will. It’s important to review your will after major life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child.
Does a will help me avoid probate?
No, a will must go through probate, but it ensures your assets are distributed as you intended. To avoid probate, consider creating a living trust as part of your estate plan.
Who should I choose as my executor?
Your executor should be a responsible, trustworthy person who can manage your estate and follow the instructions in your will. Many people choose a spouse, adult child, trusted friend, or professional fiduciary for this role.
