Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Baltimore probate cases filed?

Probate for Baltimore City residents is filed with the Register of Wills at 111 N Calvert Street. Baltimore County probate is filed at 401 Bosley Avenue in Towson. Both feed into their respective Orphans’ Courts.

Do I need a trust or just a will?

Many Maryland estates are handled well with just a will and strong beneficiary designations. Revocable trusts help avoid probate and manage out-of-state property. The right choice depends on assets, family dynamics, and privacy goals.

How often should I update my estate plan?

Every 3 to 5 years, or after major life events like marriage, divorce, new children, or relocation. Maryland law changes also warrant review. Small updates are often handled via codicil or restatement.
