Last Will & Testament

Having a Will Puts You in Control of Your Estate

A will, often referred to as a last will and testament, is a legal document that outlines an individual’s wishes regarding the distribution of their assets and the care of their dependents after their death. This crucial document serves as a roadmap for executors and beneficiaries, ensuring that your intentions are honored.

Dangers of Not Having a Will

The importance of having a will cannot be overstated. Without one, your assets get distributed according to predetermined state laws, which may not align with your final wishes. A will provides a sense of control and peace of mind, allowing you to make decisions about who will inherit your property, manage your affairs, and care for your dependents. It also expedites the probate process, simplifying the legal proceedings for grieving family members.
