having a will affects the probate

process by controlling that process um a

lot of people think if you have a will

then you avoid probate but that’s a

common misconception so the will

basically tells the court what you want

that probate process uh to look like and

where you want to end up at the end of

that process so things like who’s going

to be responsible for guiding that that

probate ship um through the the Waters

of of the court process who you give

that job to and then uh also who gets

all who gets the assets so where do the

assets go how do they get there are they

held in trust for for the

beneficiaries uh those types of things

so the the will really is the uh the

controlling document that says how that

probate process is going to play out in

the courts
