�The dealings of estates and other assets are truly covered by law but as it turns out, a huge percentage of us do not have the so-called Last Will and testament which discusses in detail the legalities of who gets which and even when. The small percentage who do have them have them either incomplete or not prepared in the presence of a lawyer who must be knowledgeable of all parties and the dealing of the said will and is deemed as the executioner of the will. This avoids the in-fighting within families that who after all are fighting for their rights. This has been covered by law but compliance is strictly voluntary and many such battles are left to the courts to decide. With proper legal arrangements and with all family members in legal harmony property can be assured proper legal disposal in such cases unfortunate as death when it does come (which surely will).
