What Happens to Your Estate When You Die Without a Trust?

If you own a home, retirement accounts, or any significant assets, your estate will go through probate when you die — unless you have a trust.

Probate is not just slow and expensive. It is public.

Anyone — your estranged relatives, creditors, or scammers — can access your estate records online. Maryland probate filings are available for download for five cents a page. Your account numbers. Your balances. Your beneficiaries. All of it, available to anyone with a laptop and a credit card.

Maryland Probate Inventory Form RW1122 - public court filing

This is the Maryland probate inventory form. Every asset in your estate — bank accounts, retirement accounts, real property, investments — is listed here and filed as a public record. Available for download by anyone for five cents a page.

A trust avoids probate entirely. Your estate stays private. Your family handles everything without a judge, without a courtroom, and without strangers downloading your financial life for pocket change.

This Is for You If…

  • You own a home in Maryland — especially in Montgomery County, Bethesda, or the DC suburbs
  • You have retirement accounts, brokerage accounts, or life insurance
  • You have minor children and want to name a guardian
  • You want to avoid your family going through probate court after you're gone
  • You value privacy and do not want your financial life on the public record
  • You have been meaning to do this for years and are ready to finally get it done

You do not need a large estate. You need assets worth protecting and a family worth providing for.

A Complete Trust-Based Estate Plan

Flat Fee — No Hourly Billing

$4,000

No surprise invoices. One flat fee covers everything.

$4,000 flat fee for most trust-based estate plans. Complex situations — including business interests or special needs planning — may require a custom quote. We'll tell you upfront before you commit to anything.

Your estate plan includes:

  • Revocable living trust — keeps your estate out of probate and off the public record
  • Pour-over will — ensures any assets outside your trust are captured
  • Financial power of attorney — designates who manages your finances if you are incapacitated
  • Healthcare directive & living will — documents your medical wishes
  • HIPAA authorization — allows your family to speak with your doctors
  • Personalized design meeting with Attorney William Day
  • Document review and revisions until you are satisfied
  • Signing ceremony coordination

Most clients complete their estate plan in under 60 days from first contact to signed documents.
