It is extremely important to have a Maryland Will prepared by a Maryland Attorney. The reason for this is the fact that in the event that there is nothing written in unambiguous language the courts have no way of telling to whom your estate exactly should go to. So if for example you always wanted your estate to pass onto your youngest son and you never actually created a Maryland Will which would clearly outline your son as your sole beneficiary then there is a very good chance that the courts can not determine this intent. The courts will look at the facts and circumstances of each case and only based on those facts and circumstance are they able to decipher who is to receive the assets.

If there is a Maryland Will with clear language that lays out exactly who should receive the assets then the courts will really not need to look at the facts and circumstances of each case. On the other hand they can simple refer to the will which was prepared by a Maryland Attorney in order to determine exactly who should receive the assets. This will help to avoid a lot of costly litigation and legal costs that occurs when there is a dispute about the division of an individual's estate. Otherwise the heirs of the estate who believe that they are entitled to the assets will have to hire their own probate attorneys in order to recover what they believe belongs to them. This of course carries a lot of litigation costs and attorney costs that could have easily been avoided by utilizing the services of a Maryland Attorney to create your Will. The question always comes up as to whether a Maryland Will is really necessary. Many individual have a preconceived notion that a Maryland Last Will and Testament is nothing necessary and one could definitely go through life without one. Well this is partly correct as you per se do not need a last will and testament.
