\n\tFrequently asked questions<\/h2>[vc_empty_space height=”25px”]
\n\t
\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tWhat is a will?\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n<\/h6>
\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]A will is a document in which a person disposes of their property after death, specifying heirs and the distribution of assets.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tWhat is the legal order of succession?\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n<\/h6>
\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text]The order of succession is the arrangement of statutory heirs. Relatives who form the deceased’s immediate family are in the closer orders of heirs, while extended family members are in more distant orders. Adopted relatives, as well as the deceased’s spouse and common-law partner, are also included in the orders of heirs.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”70px”]\n\n\t
