What Is a Will?
A will is an estate planning tool that allows you to designate who receives your assets when you pass away. A will also allows you to choose a personal representative who will be responsible for taking care of your debts, distributing assets, and managing any other affairs you left behind. If you have a minor child, a will allows you to appoint a person responsible for their well-being in the event of your death.
Who Do I Choose as a Personal Representative?
The personal representative you select should be a responsible and trustworthy person. If your personal representative is irresponsible, unorganized, or difficult, this can lead to the mishandling of your estate.
Why Do I Need a Will?
No matter the size of your estate, it is beneficial to have a well-drafted will. A will is not just a document to describe who gets what after you have passed; it is a comprehensive plan for how your affairs are to be managed when you are gone. If you pass without a will, your estate will be distributed according to state intestate laws, without consideration for what your wishes may have been.
