How can I go about making a free will?

Answered by attorney Thomas Corcoran Phipps (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Thomas Corcoran Phipps
I do not know what a free will is. If you want to make a last will and testament in Missouri, you should have an attorney draft and execute it.

What does it mean to go through probate?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Having or not having a Will is not determinative of whether probate is necessary. Depending upon the total value of all of your uncle's assets that do not have named beneficiaries, joint tenants or held in trust will determine if a probate is necessary. You may need a simple affidavit, to proceed with a set aside petition or you may in fact require a probate to administer your uncle's assets. You probably should consult with counsel about the specific facts of your case, or you may try to navigate the probate arena on your own and utilize the forms available at the self help center at Family Court.

If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
No. If there was no legal separation or divorce, she is legally entitled to all of the community property and 33% to 50% of the separate property. If he had no children, she will get it all.
