Generally speaking, Bev, it is the decedent's responsibility to see that
his/her assets are distributed according to his/her wishes by preparing a
good will, arranging for an executor, etc.
Probates waste time and money. This waste can be avoided by using
trusts. I highly recommend the book, Make Your Own Living Trust,
published by Nolo Press.
