While Will contests and trust litigation do not happen often, it can happen. Having a well drawn Last Will and Testament or Trust can help. Everybody thinks it wonât happen to them. Or rather, everybody knows itâs going to happen to them eventually, but nobody thinks itâs going to happen tomorrow, or next week, or even next year. The âitâ of which I speak is, of course, death. It is this perceived immortality that allows so many people to put off their estate planning until it is too late. However, the tragic loss of a young life this morning and the loss of a young couple in College Station last Sunday reminded me, only God knows when it will happen.
