Without an estate plan, Virginia law determines who inherits your assets, and your family may face costly court proceedings to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated.

Estate Planning — Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a will if I don’t have many assets? +
Yes. Without a will, Virginia’s intestate succession laws determine who inherits — which may not match your wishes. A will also lets you name a guardian for minor children, which is critically important for any parent.

What is the difference between a will and a living trust? +
A will takes effect at death and goes through probate. A living trust holds assets during your lifetime and transfers them without probate, saving time and potentially costs. Whether a trust is right for you depends on your assets and goals.

What is a power of attorney and do I need one? +
A financial power of attorney designates someone to manage your finances if you become incapacitated. A healthcare power of attorney designates someone to make medical decisions. Without these, your family may need a court proceeding to be appointed your guardian.

How often should I update my estate plan? +
Review after any major life event: marriage, divorce, birth of a child, death of a beneficiary, significant asset change, or relocation. A general review every 3–5 years is good practice.

Can Ms. Khan help with both estate planning and family law? +
Yes. This combination is particularly valuable for clients going through divorce who need to update beneficiary designations, remove a spouse from powers of attorney, and revise their estate plan simultaneously.
