Get a will. And get it done right.
Jim Morrison got a will. But he didn't get it right.
Morrison drafted a simple will. It gave his estate to his then partner, Pamela Courson. However, if she passed away within 3 months of Morrison passing away, then, his estate went to his siblings.
Not good drafting as it turned out.
Courson passed away 3 years after Morrison. So Morrison's estate did not go to his siblings. But Courson herself died without a will, a situation called an intestacy. That meant that Morrison's vast estate went to her parents.
Reportedly, Morrison and the Courson parents did not get along. Presumably, Morrison would not have wanted them getting his estate, particularly instead of his siblings. But he had a badly drafted will so that is what happened.
At Pettit and Company, we will draft a will that actually does what you want it to do.
Unlike Jim Morrison.

Get a will done.
Jimi Hendrix didn't. When he died in 1970 at age 27, he hadn't done a will.
What followed was 30 plus years of estate and related litigation. First, his father sued successfully for control of the estate. Second, after Jimi's father passed away, his brother sued unsuccessfully for control of the estate which had been given to his sister.
A proper will would have prevented much or all of this litigation.
At Pettit and Company, we practice both wills and estates and estate litigation. In other words, we can draft wills to prevent litigation and ensure our clients' intentions are honoured.
