re: #369 ausador
Once again, my condolences on your loss and am sorry to hear about all the troubles that followed with settling their estates. A little bit of planning can save a whole bunch of trouble down the line. Small estates don’t necessarily require a lawyer to draft a will, but even someone with only a few bank accounts/iras/401k/pensions, or insurance proceeds should update their beneficiary lists periodically to make it easy to avoid probate.
It’s always a good idea to periodically review your financials.
