 And it says that if somebody dies without a will or there's something missing that wasn't in the will, we don't know what to do with it, then it goes to court. And the probate judge will listen to the facts of the situation, and the judge will tell you where that property goes. The other scary thing is if you are parents and you have children under the age of 18, if you were to pass without a will naming a guardian or conservator for your children, the state takes control of them too.
