WHY HAVE A WILL & TESTAMENT
Over 68% of all Americans over 18 years of age and up do not have a will and testament. A Will is a legal document that sets forth your wishes regarding the distribution of your property and the care of any minor children and pets. If you die without a will, those wishes may never be carried out not to mention it can cause massive issues with siblings and families fighting over assets. Further, your heirs may end up spending additional time, money and emotional energy to settle your affairs after you're gone while its stuck in probate being leached on by the courts and estate attorneys. contains your direct wishes for your property and assets, as well as the care of your dependents.
There is no single document that will likely resolve every issue that arises after you pass, however a Last Will & Testament can come pretty close if you are not able to afford proper asset Protection.

Do I still need a Will & Testament if I decide to do Asset Protection with OWM?
Yes, all of our new clients will get a Free Will & Testament, then once we do asset protection, we will utilize some of that Will & Testament to create what is called a "Spill Over Will & Testament" which will allow for anything forgotten that is not included in the Trusts, will automatically be deemed and granted to the trust(s). This also helps us with the setup of asset protection giving us an idea of the assets one has.
Why does 68% of Americans not have a Will & Testament?
Many Americans are simply lazy or they don't feel that this is important of enough of task to complete and therefore they never do it. By not doing this it can cause a major riff in peoples families. We have seen families of generations get torn apart due to a lack of organization within ones estate. Estate planning is crucial and must not be avoided. By having a Will & Testament, it will help on the bare minimum side of things keep your estate semi organized so that when it does go to probate, the courts have an exact idea of what your wishes are and will help execute your wishes at a cost of course.
What would this cost me to do through an attorney?
This could cost you anywhere from $550-$750 depending on your marital status. Again we feel that everyone should have one for Free and if they can protect their assets by enrolling into an asset protection program even if its not through OWM, we want them to be protected by creditors and lawsuits because 96% of the worlds lawsuits are right here in our back yard of the good old United States of America.
