Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama

At the risk of being suckered into answering an obvious question, given the choice, why would anyone choose to proceed through probate without a valid will? Let's see- maybe they just like to throw away several hundred dollars or more for bonding. Maybe they like to hire an attorney each time some decision has to be made so a hearing can be scheduled. Maybe they prefer spending twice as much time in probate and spending five times the money that a will would've cost them. Seriously, this question can't be serious. No one would choose to go through probate without a will. Some people do but they don't understand that a will does a lot more than simply telling the world who gets your Beanie Baby collection. It saves the survivors thousands of dollars and months of time.
