Learn more about the Intestacy Rules in your area.
Each state has its own set of intestacy rules. When the citizens of the 13 colonies decided to form the United States, the founding fathers decided to give the federal government some powers but to let states have others. One of the powers each state retains is the right to decide how property passes at death. This is why we have 50 different systems in the United States.

Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Also very competitive pricing. Recommended to me by another attorney. First class service from start to finish.
Very easy to deal with. Like the fact they are focused on estate planning and their expertise in this area shows. Peter and staff were helpful and easy to communicate with.
I worked with Daniella to settle my father’s estate. She was kind, efficient, knowledgeable, and made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend working with Daniella.
My experience with Klenk Law was nothing shy of amazing. I had done some quick research when searching for an estate attorney and was immediately drawn to Klenk Law being a veteran owned business and due to their support for veterans, first responders, and teachers . Every member of their staff was knowledgeable and patient through every step of the process and with all of my questions. They were honest and transparent with pricing and expectations. They were very timely with communications and kept me in the loop throughout the process. I will definitely recommend Klenk Law to friends and family.
Extremely professional services with courteous, responsive communication. Would recommend to anyone.
