Profile

Willie Hobson limits his practice to “non-tax-related” estate planning and probate/estate administration.

“Many clients want a ‘simple’, low-cost will; they don’t want to talk about ‘estate planning.’ What they do not realize is that simple wills do not dispose of non-probate property (life insurance proceeds, IRA and 401(k) plan benefits, joint property, etc.). Simple wills may not provide adequate protection for property passing to minor children, nor provide for the desired disposition of assets where the anticipated beneficiary predeceases the person who makes the will,” he explains.

“When preparing a will, one needs to discuss in detail his or her family circumstances and assets with a lawyer who is experienced in advising and counseling. Preparing a will is no substitute for designing an estate plan.”
