If you do not have one, a court will decide the outcome of your estate and determine the guardianship of any minor children after your death. For a flat fee, Michael V. Calabro prepares simple wills for those seeking to avoid having a court dictate the disposition of their property upon their death. Inquire also about living wills and powers of attorney that will clarify your wishes regarding your health and your financial affairs if you should become incapacitated.
