Estate Planning Laws in Indiana.
Indiana estate-planning and probate work is governed primarily by Title 29 of the Indiana Code (Probate) and Title 30 (Trusts and Fiduciaries). Indiana has a modern probate framework with unsupervised administration available for many estates, and the Indiana Trust Code provides the substantive framework for trust planning and disputes.
