Que es un Testamento?
/in Estate Planning/by Ryan-Cruz Law, APC¿Qué es un testamento?
Un testamento es un documento sencillo que contiene sus instrucciones sobre qué hacer después de su fallecimiento. Un testamento establece:
Quién se encargará de los asuntos administrativos posteriores a su muerte. Esta persona es su albacea designado.
Quién recibirá sus bienes después de su fallecimiento. Esta persona o personas son sus beneficiarios.
Estos dos conceptos son los aspectos más importantes de un testamento. Sin embargo, existen otras secciones importantes.
¿Debería hacer un testamento?
Eso depende de sus bienes actuales y del valor estimado de sus bienes en el futuro. Hay muchos otros factores a considerar, ya que un testamento simple funciona para algunos, mientras que para otros solo resultará en un proceso de sucesión testamentaria que en Ingles se conoce como Probate.
Solicite una consulta legal
Si está considerando hacer un testamento, le recomendamos que pida una consulta legal para determinar si un testamento es adecuado para usted. Otra herramienta común es un fideicomiso revocable en vida que in Ingles se llama un Revocable Living Trust. Llame o envíe un correo electrónico para solicitar una consulta.

A Will is a simple document containing your instructions about what do following your death. A Will states:
These two concepts are the most important aspect of a Will. However, there are several more important sections that make up a Will.
Should you make a Will?
That depends on your current assets and the estimated value of your assets in the future. There are many, many other facts to discuss as a simple Will works for some while it will only result in Probate for others.
Request a Legal Consultation
If you are exploring creating a Will, you are greatly encouraged to hold a legal consultation to determine whether a Will is right for you. Alternatively, another common tool is a Revocable Living Trust. Call or email in to request a consultation.
