Frequently Asked Questions

What does an estate planning attorney in Herndon do?
An estate planning attorney helps you draft legal documents such as a will, revocable living trust, financial power of attorney, and healthcare directive. They also advise on Virginia probate procedures and strategies to reduce estate taxes. For Herndon residents, they can tailor plans to account for Fairfax County court requirements.
Do I need a will in Virginia if I have a small estate?
Even for small estates, a will is recommended to direct who receives your property. In Virginia, if you die without a will, state intestacy laws determine distribution, which may not match your wishes. A will also allows you to name a guardian for minor children.
What is the Virginia probate process and how long does it take?
Probate in Virginia involves filing the will with the circuit court in the county where the deceased lived. For Fairfax County, the process typically takes 6 to 12 months for a straightforward estate. Virginia law requires creditors to be notified within 30 days of qualification, and they have one year to file claims.
