I am not an attorney, and you do need to get professional legal advice. If there is no will, there still may be trusts (there are several kinds) that were created by the deceased. For larger amounts of wealth, trusts are often better than wills. If there are no trusts, and there is no will, then probate court moves in and has control over how and when assets are distributed. This might not be a great problem, but sometimes probate courts can take a very long time to work through a case. Wills must go through probate court as well, but when a person leaves wishes in the form of a will, the job of probate court is to take reasonable steps to validate the will, and to make sure that the provisions in the will don't violate any rules or regulations. Trusts usually do not have to go through probate court, and there are some other advantages of trusts as well.
