When is a Simple Will enough?
                                We do have an automated will-based solution,
                                which is for people that don't have significant
                                net worth or who are simply resistant to the

                                revocable living trust solution.



                                The will still allow you to be purposeful in how
                                you distribute your assets. Normally, when you
                                get to a certain level of wealth, perhaps
                                $300,000 per intended adult heir, you're

                                dealing more with the core values that you
                                want to perpetuate as to your intended heirs.
                                For example, do you want to:

                                      Have their inheritance in an asset
                                        protected environment so that creditors

                                        and ex-spouses don’t have access to the
                                        wealth you left your children;
                                      Help with education for your children or
                                        their children (do you want to associate

                                        required grades or degrees in order to
                                        receive help on education);
                                      Create a structure where your children
                                        can invest the funds in a business or
                                        investment real estate;

                                      Assist in paying for their wedding,
                                        reception,       honeymoon           or      other
                                        significant life events;
