... but all I need is a simple Will."

I hear these words regularly – “All I need is a simple Will.”  Curiously enough, no one who tells me this can tell me what a “simple” Will is (I, myself, do not know), much less why it is all they need.  I suspect what they are really thinking is, “If I hire this this guy, he’d better not make things seem more complicated than they are… and overcharge me for something that should be simple!”  The ‘skinny of it’ is this – there is only one no-brainer when it comes to estate planning – avoid probate!  What most people don’t understand, however, is that your Will is your plan and tool for probate.  You need something more than a "simple" Will.  The question is, "What?"
