Robin Williams Family Court Battle, Dallas Estate Planning Lawyer
Recently in the news we saw the story about Robin Williams wife and children going to court over his personal property. We find often times that its not the money that families fight over; its the personal property that has sentimental value thats the problem. One way that you can prevent your family from going through this same scenario is to be very specific when listing out who gets your personal property. There is a separate document you can put together in addition to your Will, called a memorandum. In this document, you are able to make a list of items and the people you want to inherit them. Remember to be specific. For example, instead of saying you want your jewelry to go to your daughter, list out specific jewelry items that you want her to have. This will make it more difficult for anyone to fight over your personal property items because you were so specific in designating who gets what. This will save your family time, money and stress
