Last Will and Testament
Your family and loved ones are taken care of when things are handled the way you want
A last will and testament is a legal document that communicates a person’s final wishes pertaining to their assets. It provides specific instructions about what to do with their possessions.
When someone dies without a will, the legal term for that is “intestate.” When this happens, the intestacy law of the state where you reside determines how your property will be distributed.
It is important to have a last will and testament because it ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you pass away.
A last will and testament is a legal document that decides who will inherit your property and states your final wishes after your death. You need to be at least 18 years old and of sound mind to make a will.
You can name an executor, who is the person in charge of distributing your assets, and a legal guardian for your children if you have any. You need to sign your will with two witnesses who are not beneficiaries of your will. Your will should be shared with all beneficiaries and the probate court will supervise the executor to make sure your will is valid and followed.
