Create a Legally Sound Will That Reflects Your Wishes and Protects Your Loved Ones

You have worked hard to build a life for the people you love. But what happens to them, and your assets, if something unexpected happens to you?

Without a valid will in place, your family could face confusion, delays, and court involvement during an already painful time.

At The Law Office of LaSheena M. Williams, P.C., we help individuals and families across Montgomery County, Maryland and throughout the state create clear, legally enforceable wills that protect their wishes and provide peace of mind. Whether you are just starting your estate plan or updating an existing will, we make sure your voice is heard today and in the future.

Why You Need a Will in Maryland

A Last Will and Testament is the foundation of a strong estate plan. It outlines how your assets should be distributed, who will care for your minor children, and who you trust to handle your affairs after your death.

If you die without a will, also known as dying intestate, Maryland law decides:

  • Who receives your property
  • Who becomes guardian of your minor children
  • Who manages and distributes your estate

This can lead to family disputes, unintended outcomes, and costly delays in Maryland probate court.

A well-crafted will helps ensure your wishes are respected and makes things significantly easier for the people you love.

Our Maryland Will Services

We provide comprehensive will preparation services for clients in Montgomery County, MD and across Maryland. Our legal team keeps the process simple, efficient, and tailored to your situation.

Drafting a New Will

We help you create a personalized, legally valid will that clearly states:

  • Who receives your property and assets
  • Who will serve as guardian of your minor children
  • Who will serve as your personal representative, also known as your executor
  • Any special instructions or conditions

Updating an Existing Will

Have you experienced a life change such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, or a move to Maryland? We can review your current documents and update your will to reflect your circumstances and Maryland requirements.

Coordinating with Other Estate Planning Tools

Your will should work together with the rest of your estate plan. We help coordinate your will with tools such as:

  • Trusts
  • Powers of attorney
  • Advance medical directives
  • Beneficiary designations
 

Who Should Have a Will?

If you live in Maryland and any of the following apply, creating or updating your will should be a priority:

  • You are married or partnered
  • You have minor children or other dependents
  • You own real estate or a business
  • You have savings, retirement accounts, or valuable personal property
  • You recently moved to Maryland from another state
  • You want to choose who handles your estate and makes decisions

Whether your estate is large or small, a valid will puts you in charge of your legacy instead of leaving critical decisions to the court system.

What Happens Without a Will in Maryland?

When someone dies without a will, Maryland intestate laws dictate how the estate is distributed. That often results in:

  • Assets going to unintended heirs
  • No control over who receives sentimental or personal items
  • Minor children being placed with court-appointed guardians
  • Extra stress, added legal fees, and avoidable delays for surviving family members

Our goal is to help you avoid these outcomes by creating a clear, legally enforceable will that reflects your wishes and protects your loved ones.
