A Will is a written statement of what a person wants done with their property after they die. A Will can have directions for how property should be divided.Probate is the process of proving that the Will is valid (legally acceptable). During probate, the Will must be proved to the satisfaction of the Court. Do not itemize personal property in your Will, but rather create a list of personal property in a separate writing. Learn what a personal property memorandum is and how you can use one with your will to give away personal items. When there is a will, personal property is distributed or divided as provided in the will. Exemption applications must be filed with your local assessor's office. See our Municipal Profiles for your local assessor's mailing address. List all vehicles and personal property owned on July 1 of this year.
