A will is a legal document that allows you to direct who shall inherit your possessions. It is the only means by which you can express how your assets are to be distributed upon your death. If you die without a will, state law determines who inherits your possessions without regard to your wishes or your heirs’ needs.

A will also allows you to select a relative or friend to be the guardian of your minor children when you die. Without a will, the court will appoint the guardian.
You can amend your will at any time. You should review your will from time-to-time and especially if your marital status changes.

Everyone should have a will.
