Your Top Questions Answered:

Do I need to file my Will with the County?

No, you do not need to file your Will with the County. This is due to the fact that your Will cannot be filed with the court until you pass away. The reason for this is because your Will can be modified and changed until you pass away. The purpose of your Will is to allocate your assets when you pass away. We only look to the Will once someone has passed away. Some Probate Courts have the option that you can pay a small fee for the Probate Court to keep your Will for safe keeping only.
